If a square model shows total area x²+12x+36, what is the side length of the square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x+6 — x+6

The direct answer is B: x+6. Compare the expression with the perfect-square identity (x+a)²=x²+2ax+a². Here the constant term is 36, which is 6², so the added side length is 6. The middle term predicted by this value is 2·x·6=12x, exactly the given middle term. Therefore x²+12x+36=(x+6)², and the side of the square is x+6. A would produce (x+12)²=x²+24x+144, so it is much too large. C would produce x²−12x+36 and has the wrong sign in the middle term. D is not the square of a binomial and represents an unsuitable algebraic form for a side. Memory cue: take the square root of the constant term, then check twice that number against the middle coefficient.
