A rectangular sign had a perimeter of 44 feet and a length of 14 feet. A designer shortened the length so that the sign became a square with the same width as the old sign. What was the area of the new sign?

The area is 64

(Perimeter) 44= 14+14+x+x
44-14-14=x+x
16=x+x
8=x (width of the rectangle)

8x8=64
