Let the original length of a side be d cm.
Then (d + 5)2 = 144 = 122 : d + 5 = 12 : d = 12 - 5 = 7.
The original square had a side length of 7 cm.
We have no idea what "a 144cm square" means. If you mean to say "a square with an area of 144 square cm", then its side length is 12 cm.
Area of the rectangle is 144cm. The sides of a square with the same ares is 12cm.
144cm is 4 feet 8.7 inches.
A square with an area of 144cm2 has sides of 12cm which is the square root of 144cm. 12cm x 12cm gives 144cm2.
1.44m
1 metre is 100 centimetres, so 144 / 100 is 1.44, so 144cm is 1.44m (metres).
16 m
Answerfirst you have to make it a square by subtracting 2cms from the length and adding 2cms to the width. That will make it equal to 12cm. The area for the rectangle was 140cm then it increased by 4 because 12cm * 12cm is 144cm. so x = 2 and the area increases by four.
144cm = 4ft 811⁄16in
74cm + 70cm = 144cm

144 cm = 4.72 feet
