You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Original length you do not know, a variable x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+4 is the lengthened side, giving you stated new area 256 cm^2:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B4%29%5E2=256\";
\n" ); document.write( "and you want to know, or find, x.
\n" ); document.write( "Can you continue this?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Also, be aware, \"256=2%5E8\"
\n" ); document.write( "
