\r\n" );
document.write( "Area of smaller square = 25 sq in (given)\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore side of the smaller square =  inches.\r\n" );
document.write( "Since each side of the original larger square was reduced by 4 inches,\r\n" );
document.write( "the side of the larger square must be  inches.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
