Answer:

4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape is a square, each side length will be the same. This mean that you must find the square root of 36 to find the length of each side of the new square.

√36=6

Each side of the new square is 6. It says it was lengthened by 2 inches. Subtract 2 from 6.

6-2=4

Each side of the original square is 4 inches.

Hope this helps!
