Question

Find the length of the side of the given square if area of the square is 625 square units and then find the value of x.

Sum

Solution

We have, a square having length of a side (4x + 5) units and area is 625 sq.units.

∵ Area of a square = (Side)2

(4x + 5)2 = 625

⇒ (4x + 5)2 = (25)2   ...[Taking square root both sides and neglecting (– ve) sign]

⇒ 4x + 5 = 25

⇒ 4x = 25 – 5

⇒ 4x = 20

⇒ x = 5

Hence, side = 4x + 5 = 4 × 5 + 5 = 25 units
