The area of the square with sides of (x+1) is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5Bs%5D+=+%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5Bs%5D+=+x%5E2%2B2x%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "The area of the rectangle with sides (x+2) and (x) is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5Br%5D+=+%28x%2B2%29%28x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5Br%5D+=+x%5E2%2B2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the area of the rectangle from the area of the square:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B2x%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "-(\"x%5E2%2B2x\")
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "\"1\" The area of the square is larger by 1 square unit.
