Question

Write a polynomial that represents the area of the square

Answer 1

• side=x+4

Area:-

• side²
• (x+4)²
• x²+8x+16units²

Answer 2

y = x² + 8x + 16

Explanation:

blue square = x × x = x²

green rectangle = 4 × x = 4x

yellow square = 4 × 4 = 16

Let y = total area of the square

⇒ y = blue square + green rectangle + green rectangle + yellow square

= x² + 4x + 4x + 16

= x² + 8x + 16
