Question

A square mirror is framed with a 2 inch Frame all around it. The area of frame material is 32 square inches. What are the measurements of the framed mirror and the mirror itself 

Answer 1

s represents the side of the mirror

s² represents the area of the mirror

s + 4 represents the side of the frame

(s + 4)² represents the area of mirror and frame

(s +4)² - s² represents the area of the frame

 

32 = (s + 4)² - s²

 

Can you solve for s and answer the question?
