If the corner of a square of side a + 5 has area 25, which complete expansion is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a² + 10a + 25

The correct answer is C. The full square has side a + 5, so its area is (a + 5)². In the visual model, one large square has area a². There are two rectangular strips, each measuring a by 5, so their areas are 5a and 5a. The small corner is a 5 by 5 square, giving 25. Adding all four regions gives a² + 5a + 5a + 25 = a² + 10a + 25. Option A counts only one strip and therefore has 5a instead of 10a. Option B gives an incorrect coefficient for a and an incorrect constant arrangement. Option D has the correct middle coefficient but the wrong constant, 5 instead of 25. The identity (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² confirms the result when b = 5.
