Question
The area of a square is 81x²+72x+16. Find the measure
of each side of the square, where x > 0.Solution
The area of a square = 81x² + 72x + 16  = (9x) ² + 2 x 9x x 4 + (4)2  = (9x + 4)2 Now,  a² = (9x + 4)2 a=9x + 4 Taking 2 as common, we get. =2(9x/2 + 2)  The required value is 2(9x/2 + 2)
