- The following problem is from both the 2021 Fall AMC 10A #1 and 2021 Fall AMC 12A #1, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
What is the value of 
?
Solution
![\[\frac{(2112-2021)^2}{169}=\frac{91^2}{169}=\frac{91^2}{13^2}=\left(\frac{91}{13}\right)^2=7^2=\boxed{\textbf{(C) } 49}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/0/7/407cd9459ae95627aa58757ee1ca3b069e4cb1c0.png)
