The area of a square mirror is 256 in squared. A rectangle mirror has a width the same as the square mirror width. Its length is 2 in longer than its width. What is the area of the rectangle mirror?

The square root of 256 is 16, so each if the square's sides is 16 inches long.

Take it from there.

I wanted you to give me the answer

Ik I'm late but the answer is 288

To find the area of the rectangle mirror, first, we need to determine the dimensions of the rectangle mirror.

Given that the area of the square mirror is 256 square inches, we know that the length and width of the square mirror are equal since it is a square. Let's denote the side length of the square mirror as "s".

Therefore, we can say that the area of the square mirror is s * s = s^2 = 256 square inches.

Now, to find the side length of the square mirror, we can take the square root of the area:

√(s^2) = √256

Taking the square root of 256, we get:

s = 16

Now that we have the side length of the square mirror, we can determine the dimensions of the rectangle mirror.

The width of the rectangle mirror is the same as the width of the square mirror, which we found to be 16 inches.

The length of the rectangle mirror is given as 2 inches longer than the width. So, the length would be:

16 + 2 = 18 inches.

To find the area of the rectangle mirror, we multiply the length and width:

Area = length * width = 18 * 16 = 288 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the rectangle mirror is 288 square inches.
