Answer this question for 25 points and

  64 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the original paper was x cm on a side. Then the original perimeter was 4x.

When the square is folded in half, two of the sides are now x/2, so the perimeter is ...

  x + x/2 + x + x/2 = 3x

If 3x = 24 cm, then x = 8 cm.

The area of the original paper is ...

  A = x² = (8 cm)² = 64 cm²

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
