In a visual model, 4x^2, 12x, and 9 make a perfect square. What is the side of that square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2x+3, the correct side

The direct answer is A: 2x+3. A square with side 2x+3 has area (2x+3)^2. Apply the identity (p+q)^2=p^2+2pq+q^2 with p=2x and q=3. Then p^2=(2x)^2=4x^2, 2pq=2(2x)(3)=12x, and q^2=3^2=9. Adding these parts gives 4x^2+12x+9, exactly the model in the question. Option A is correct. Option B, 4x+9, adds area values as if they were lengths; its square would not produce the given three parts. Option C combines 2x with 9, but 9 is an area, not the small side; the corresponding side is its square root, 3. Option D uses 4x and 3, although the square root of 4x^2 is 2x, not 4x. Memory cue: for a perfect-square area, take the square roots of the first and last terms, then check that the middle term is twice their product.
