Question

a shape is made with two squares. the total area of the shape is 25 square meters. one of the squares has an area is 9 square meters. what is the area of the others square?

Answer 1

Since 25 is the total area you take away 9 from the total area.
25-9=16
16 is the remaining area of the other square.

Answer 2

total area=square1+sqrare2
total area=25
one is 9
25=9+squaer2
minus 9
square2=16square meters
