Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. A kivágott négyzet oldalának hosszát jelöljük \(\displaystyle x\)-szel. Ekkor a síkidom területére fennáll, hogy \(\displaystyle (96+x)(13+x)-x^2=2011\). Rendezés után \(\displaystyle 109x=763\), ahonnan \(\displaystyle x=7\). Ennek segítségével az eredeti téglalap területe \(\displaystyle (96+7)(13+7)=2060\) \(\displaystyle cm^2\).
