    Given that Area of the square mirror = 256 square inches

    We know that area of square is given by formula

    Area = x^2, where x is the side of the square

    plug the given value

    256=x^2

    take square root

    16=x

    Hence width of the square is 16 inches.

    Given that a rectangular mirror has a width the same as the square mirrors width.

    Then width of the rectangle = 16 inches

    Length of the rectangle = 16+2 = 18 inches

    Area of rectangle = Length * width = 16*18 = 288

    Hence final answer is 288 square inches.
