Answer:

(3x - 4) (3x + 4)

Explanation:

Area of the square paper = 9x^2 square centimeters

Area of the square corner = 16 square centimeters

The area of the square corner is removed from area of the square paper.

That is,

9x^2 - 16

Factorise by finding the square root of each term

9x^2

Square root of 9x^2 = 3x

Check:

3x * 3x = 9x^2

Square root of 16 = + or - 4

9x^2 - 16 = (3x - 4) (3x + 4)

Check:

(3x - 4) (3x + 4)

9x^2 + 12x - 12x - 16

= 9x^2 - 16
