A square model shows the area x²+14x+49. What is the side of the small square in this model?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7

The direct answer is A: 7. Compare the expression with the perfect-square identity (x+k)²=x²+2kx+k². Here the constant term 49 represents the area of the small square, so its side is √49=7. The middle term provides a check: 2·x·7=14x, exactly as required. Therefore the expression is (x+7)², and the small square has side 7. Option B, 14, is the coefficient of x, not the side of the small square. Option C, 49, is the small square’s area, not its side; a square with side 49 would have area 2401. Option D, 2, does not produce either the constant term 49 or the middle term 14x. A reliable method is to take the square root of the constant term and then verify it using half the middle-term coefficient. Memory cue: in x²+2kx+k², k is the small-square side.
