Question

The given expression represents the area. Find the side length of the square.

The length of one side is _______.

Answer 1

2x + 5

Explanation:

Make sure you remember the area of a square with side which is
`s^(2)`. Once you figure that out, you need to find the length of a​ side, make sure you factor the expression of the area as a​ perfect-square trinomial.

An example of that is...

`a^(2) +2ab+b^(2)`
`= (a +b)^(2)`

^^key point^^

Break it down and take the length out of the Square of Sum and you should get your answer.

Example: Use Square of Sum and get
`(2x+5)^(2)` then, get rid of parentheses >> 2x + 5 and you should get your answer :)
