If a square area model is 25x^2 + 20xy + 4y^2, which statement is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The side of the whole square is (5x + 2y)

The correct answer is A: the side of the square is (5x + 2y). Start by recognizing the perfect-square pattern a^2 + 2ab + b^2. Here, 25x^2 = (5x)^2 and 4y^2 = (2y)^2. The middle term should therefore be 2(5x)(2y) = 20xy, which is exactly the middle term given. Hence 25x^2 + 20xy + 4y^2 = (5x + 2y)^2, so the square’s side is 5x + 2y. Option B incorrectly treats the entire area expression’s coefficients as side terms. Option C is false because the expression is a perfect square. Option D would produce (5x - 2y)^2 = 25x^2 - 20xy + 4y^2, with a negative middle term, so it does not match. Memory cue: the sign of the middle term tells whether the two parts of the side are added or subtracted.
