Area = 16x^2
\n" ); document.write( "side = 4x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x +4 one side
\n" ); document.write( "4x-2 other side\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(4x+4)(4x-2) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16x^2-8x+16x-8
\n" ); document.write( "16x^2+8x-8 is the area of the second square
