Respuesta :

The total area is going to be:

[tex]A=20in*20in=400in^2[/tex]

The area of each mini square is:

[tex]L*L=x*x=x^2[/tex]

But, we have four mini squares, so:

[tex]Aminisquares=4*x^2[/tex]

So, the area of the remaining portion of the square is:

[tex]A(x)=400-4x^2[/tex]

This function, A(x) is the answer.
