    A. 8 cm²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You can find the length of the original rectangle with ratios:

    1.6 : x

    8 : 25

    Using this, we get:

    25 / (8/1.6) = x

    25/5=x

    x=5

    Then we multiply length by width.

    5*1.6=8

    The original rectangle had an area of 8 cm²
