Answer:

11 inches by 11 inches

Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.

Please have a look at the attached photo.

My answer:

Given the information:

  • The area of the reduced photo is 64 square inches
  • The equation
    (x-3)^(2)= 64 where x is the the side measure of the original photo.

Let us solve for x by taking positive square root of both sides.\


√((x-3)^2)=√(64)\\√((x-3)^2)=√(8^2)\\x-3=8

<=> x = 11

So the dimensions of the original photo is 11 inches by 11 inches

We choose A

Hope it will find you well.
