A subtraction model shows 16x² − 40xy + 25y². It is the area of a square with which side?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x − 5y

The direct answer is B: the side is 4x − 5y. Begin by comparing the expression with the identity (a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b². Here, 16x² = (4x)² and 25y² = (5y)². The middle term is −40xy, and −2(4x)(5y) = −40xy, so all three parts match perfectly. Therefore, 16x² − 40xy + 25y² = (4x − 5y)², which is the area of a square whose side is 4x − 5y. A, 4x + 5y, would produce a positive middle term, +40xy. C is not a square root of either first or last term and cannot produce the given trinomial. D has an incorrect coefficient and also does not square to the expression. Memory cue: in a perfect-square trinomial, the sign of the middle term matches the sign between the two parts of the binomial.
