If the outer square has side (x+5) and the inner square has side (x), what is the border area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10x+25

The direct answer is A: 10x+25. A border is the region inside the larger square but outside the smaller square, so subtract the inner area from the outer area. The outer square has area (x+5)² = x²+10x+25. The inner square has area x². Therefore, border area = (x²+10x+25)−x² = 10x+25. Option A is correct. Option B, 5x+25, includes only one 5x contribution instead of the two side strips. Option C, x²+25, incorrectly leaves the inner-square term and misses the 10x contribution. Option D, 10x+5, uses 5 instead of 5²=25 for the corner part. The same result comes from (x+5)²−x² = [(x+5)−x][(x+5)+x] = 5(2x+5). Memory cue: border area always means outer area minus inner area.
