@ganeshie8 help??

@acxbox22 help??(:

\(\large A = s^2 \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

take `square root` to get the side

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \sqrt{A} = s \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \sqrt{25r^2+30r+9} = s \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Notice that the inside stuff is a perfect square trinomial

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

knw how to express it as square of something ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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 : \(\large \sqrt{(5r+3)^2} = s\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@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

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large 5r+3 = s\)

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 !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 YAY thank u so much <3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :)
