Select the correct answer. Each side of a square is ( x - 5) units. Which expression can be used to represent the area to the square? A.) X^2 - 5x - 10B.) X^2 - 5x + 10C.) X^2 - 10x - 25 D.) X^2 - 10x + 25

Respuesta :

Let's recall the formula for getting the area of a square:

[tex]\text{ Area = s}^2[/tex]

Given,

s = x - 5

To get the expression that best represents the area of the square, let's substitute the value of s in the formula.

[tex]\text{ Area = s}^2[/tex][tex]\text{ Area = (x}-5)^2\text{ = (x - 5)(x - 5)}[/tex][tex]\text{ Area = x}^2-5x-5x+25=x^2\text{ - 10x + 2}5[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is letter D.
