I don’t understand the last 2

Nice job on getting the correct answer 144 for the first box. For anyone curious, this is found by multiplying the side lengths of the square. So 12*12 = 144.

All four sides are decreased by 5 meters. So we go from 12 meter sides to 12-5 = 7 meter sides.

The area of the square is found in the same way as earlier: We multiply the side by itself

area = side*side = 7*7 = 49 square meters

So you'll type 49 into the second box

To find the amount of decrease, you subtract the two area values:

144 - 49 = 95 goes in the third box

This indicates that the area has decreased by 95 m^2

answer: 4 (:
