Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Express the area of the square
00:03 The side length according to the given data
00:07 We'll use the formula for calculating the area of a square (side squared)
00:14 We'll substitute appropriate values and solve to find the area
00:21 And this is the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

Remember that the area of the square is equal to the side of the square raised to the 2nd power.

Formula for the area of the square:

A=L2 A=L^2

Then we substitute our values into the formula:

A=(4+x)2 A=(4+x)^2

Answer

(4+x)2 (4+x)^2
