\(\large A = s^2 \)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
take `square root` to get the side

\(\large \sqrt{A} = s \)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large \sqrt{25r^2+30r+9} = s \)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Notice that the inside stuff is a perfect square trinomial

knw how to express it as square of something ?

@ganeshie8 no that's what's confusing me:(

its bit easy actually :
\(\large \sqrt{25r^2+30r+9} = s\)
\(\large \sqrt{(5r)^2+2(3)5r+3^2} = s\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
use the identity : \(a^2 + 2ab+b^2 = (a+b^2)\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large \sqrt{(5r)^2+2(3)5r+3^2} = s\)
becomes :
\(\large \sqrt{(5r+3)^2} = s\)

@ganeshie8 okay i get it.. so you just simplify ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yep, square and radical eat each other out leaving u the finak simplified expression for side

\(\large 5r+3 = s\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
is same as :
\(\large s = 5r+3\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ganeshie8 okay so the length of the side would be 5r+3?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes !

@ganeshie8 YAY thank u so much <3

to check if its correct or not, u may square it and see if u get back ur Area..

np :)
