The area of a square model is \(16a^2+40ab+25b^2\). What is its outer side?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(4a+5b\)

The direct answer is B: \(4a+5b\). Recognize the expression as a perfect-square trinomial. The first term is \(16a^2=(4a)^2\), and the last term is \(25b^2=(5b)^2\). If the outer side is \(4a+5b\), the middle term should be \(2(4a)(5b)=40ab\), which is exactly the given middle term. Therefore \(16a^2+40ab+25b^2=(4a+5b)^2\), so the side is \(4a+5b\). Option A adds the two corner areas rather than taking their side lengths. Option C would square to a first term of \(64a^2\), so it is too large. Option D would produce a middle term of \(80ab\), not \(40ab\). Memory cue: take square roots of the first and last terms, then check twice their product.
