As shown in the figure, Xiao Hong cuts a 4 cm wide strip from a square, and then cuts a 5 cm wide strip from the remaining rectangular paper along the direction parallel to the short side. If the area of the strips cut twice is exactly the same, what is the area of each strip? What is the area of the original square?

Suppose the side length of the square is xcm, then according to the meaning of the question: 4x = 5 (x-4), the solution is: x = 20. Then 4x = 80 (cm2), 20 × 20 = 400 (cm2). Answer: the area of each strip is 80cm2, the area of the original square is 400cm2
