Answer:

The remaining piece measures 16 m

which agrees with answer D

Explanation:

In order to make a square of area 25 m^2, we need a square of side 5 m ,

Area of square = side^2

25 = side^2 then each side = 5 m

therefore the person needed 4 times 5 m to create the square, that is 20 m for the square. Therefore the piece that is left can be calculated with the difference:

36 m - 20 m = 16 m

The remaining piece measures 16 m
