\n" ); document.write( "if the length of a square is \"x\",the area of a square is \"A=x%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the area of a square is multiplied by \"16\", the area becomes \"25\" square inches, so we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"16x%5E2=25\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=25%2F16\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=sqrt%2825%2F16%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=sqrt%2825%29%2Fsqrt%2816%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=5%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=1.25\"\r
