4 added to the sum of the perimeter and area of a square gives 25.find the length of side of square
Answers
Answer:
area =x2
perimeter =4x
Now, x2+4x+4=25
x2+4x-21=0
x2-3x+7x-21
x(x-3)+7(x-3)
(x+7)(x-3)
so x=3 this is your answer

Answer:
The length of side of square is 3 units.
Step-by-step-explanation:
Let the length of side of square be x units.
∴ Area of square = ( side )²
∴ Area of square = x² unit.
Also,
Perimeter of square = 4 × side
∴ Perimeter of square = 4x units.
Now, from the given condition,
x² + 4x + 4 = 25
⇒ x² + 4x + 4 - 25 = 0
⇒ x² + 4x - 21 = 0
⇒ x² + 7x - 3x - 21 = 0
⇒ x ( x + 7 ) - 3 ( x + 7 ) = 0
⇒ ( x + 7 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0
⇒ x + 7 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
⇒ x = - 7 or x = 3
But, the length of side of square cannot be negative.
∴ x = - 7 is unacceptable.
∴ x = 3 units is the length of the side of square.
The length of side of square is 3 units.
