A square tile model shows z²+6z+9. What is the side length of the complete square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: z+3

Direct answer: Option A, z+3. Compare the expression with (z+r)²=z²+2rz+r². The coefficient of z is 6, so 2r=6 and r=3. The constant term also confirms this because r²=3²=9. Hence z²+6z+9=(z+3)², and the complete square has side length z+3. In the tile model, the z² tile forms the large square, two z-by-3 tiles together contribute 6z, and the 3-by-3 tile contributes 9. Option B would give (z+6)²=z²+12z+36, so both the middle and constant terms are wrong. Option C would give z²+18z+81. Option D would give (z−3)²=z²−6z+9, with the opposite sign for the middle term. A reliable method is to halve the coefficient of z and then check its square: 6 divided by 2 is 3, and 3² equals 9. This two-step check prevents confusing z+3 with z+6 or z−3.
