7. A square measures 8 inches on one side. By how much will the area be increased if its length is increased by 4 inches and its width decreased by 2 inches

  • A. 14 sq. in.
  • B. 12 sq. in.
  • C. 10 sq. in.
  • D. 8 sq. in.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The correct answer is (D). Area = length × width

Area of square = 8 × 8 = 64 sq. in.

Area of rectangle = (8 + 4)(8 - 2) = 12 × 6 = 72 sq. in.

72 - 64 = 8 sq. in.
