Question 866832
Set s = side length
area = 1056 - s
area = s^2
So 1056 -s = s^2
add -1056 + s to each side
 0 = s^2 + s -1056
Since 1056 = 32 * 33 we can factor the above
 0 = (s + 33)*(s - 32)
So s = -33 or s = 32
Since a side length must be positive , s = 32
So the area = 1056 - 32 = 1024
Notice that 32 * 32 = 1024 , so 32 for a side length checks out.
