Problem
Menkara has a 
index card. If she shortens the length of one side of this card by 
inch, the card would have area 
square inches. What would the area of the card be in square inches if instead she shortens the length of the other side by inch?
Solution
We construct the following table:
![\[\begin{array}{c||c|c||c} & & & \\ [-2.5ex] \textbf{Scenario} & \textbf{Length} & \textbf{Width} & \textbf{Area} \\ [0.5ex] \hline & & & \\ [-2ex] \text{Initial} & 4 & 6 & 24 \\ \text{Menkara shortens one side.} & 3 & 6 & 18 \\ \text{Menkara shortens other side instead.} & 4 & 5 & 20 \end{array}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/6/7/c675a041e6c76adb56e8213ad259239344a1b750.png)
