The area of a square courtyard is \(49a^2-84ab+36b^2\) square units. If \(7a>6b\), what will be the length of its side?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(7a-6b\)

The correct answer is A: \(7a-6b\). For a square, area equals side multiplied by itself, so we must express the given trinomial as a perfect square. Use the identity \((u-v)^2=u^2-2uv+v^2\). Taking \(u=7a\) and \(v=6b\), we get \((7a-6b)^2=49a^2-84ab+36b^2\). Therefore the side has magnitude \(|7a-6b|\). The condition \(7a>6b\) makes this quantity positive, so the side is \(7a-6b\). Option B would produce a positive middle term, \(+84ab\), not the given negative term. Option C is not the square root of the whole trinomial, and option D has squared variables where a length expression is required. Memory cue: in a perfect square, the middle term is twice the product of the two square-root terms, with its sign determined by the sign inside the bracket.
