1. A square support unit in a television is made with a side measuring 5 centimeters. A new model being designed for the upcoming year will have a larger square with a side measuring 5.3 centimeters. By how much will the area of the square be increased?
Familiarize Need to calculate the difference between the areas of two squares to find out how much is the increase in area
Translate Increase in area = Area of the new square - Area of the old square
= x2^2 - x1^2, where x2 and x1 are respectively the sides of the new square and the old square
Carry Out Increase in area = 5.3^2 - 5^2 = 3.09 cm^2
Check 5.3^2 = 28.09 and 5^2 = 25, and 28.09 - 25 = 3.09
State The area of the square will be increased by 3.09 ...
