A small square is cut from the corner of a square piece of paper. If the side of the bigger square is twice as large as the side of the smaller square, what expression could represent the area of the remaining paper?​

Sagot :

Answer:

3x² where x = side of the smaller square

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x)² = area of the bigger square

x² = area of the smaller square

[tex] = {(2x)}^{2} - {x}^{2} \\ = {4x}^{2} - {x}^{2} \\ = {3x}^{2} [/tex]
