THE SQUARE AREA =X^2
\n" ); document.write( "THE AREA OF THE RECTANGLE = 2X(X+2)
\n" ); document.write( "2X(X+2)-32=X^2
\n" ); document.write( "2X^2+4X-32=X^2
\n" ); document.write( "2X^2-X^2+4X-32=0
\n" ); document.write( "X^2+4X-32=0
\n" ); document.write( "(X-4)(X+8)=0
\n" ); document.write( "X-4=0
\n" ); document.write( "X=4 ANSWER FOR THE SIDES OF THE SQUARE.
\n" ); document.write( "SIDES OF THE RECTANGLE ARE 2*4=8 & 2(4+2)=2*8=16. THE SIDES OF THE RECTANGLE ARE 8 & 16.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "2*4(4+2)-32=4^4
\n" ); document.write( "8*6-32=16
\n" ); document.write( "48-32=16
\n" ); document.write( "16=16\r
