Answer:
28x +196 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The outside dimension of the square green rug is (x+14), so its area is (x+14)^2. The area of the green band will be the difference between this and the area of the yellow square, (x^2).
green band area = (x +14)^2 -(x^2) = x^2 +28x +196 -x^2
green band area = 28x +196 . . . . square inches
