Answer: + or - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
A. x^2 could be represented by the area of a square. Length and width are the same, so the area would be x^2. The answer is clearly wrong, since a square with sides of 32 would create a much larger area than 64.
B. x^2 = 64
What number times itself equals 64? = 8
This could be either positive or negative, since (-8)^2 is also equal to 64.
