A model shows m² + 18m + 81 as a square. Which expression represents the side of this square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: m + 9

The governing concept is the perfect-square identity (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y². Compare the given trinomial with this form. Since 81 = 9² and 18m = 2×m×9, we can rewrite m² + 18m + 81 as m² + 2(m)(9) + 9², which equals (m + 9)². If the area of a square is (m + 9)², its side is m + 9, so option D is correct. Option A would expand to m² + 12m + 36, option B would produce m² − 18m + 81 because its middle term is negative, and option C would give m² + 36m + 324. Thus only D reproduces the original square exactly. The visual model represents the two-variable side components and the constant 9, making the identity a geometric as well as algebraic interpretation.
