Choose the expression that represents the area of the square below.
Choose the expression that represents the area of the square below.
First, let's recall the formula for calculating the area of a square with side length y (length units):
Therefore, for a square with side length:
(length units), the expression for the area is:
Now, in order to simplify the expression, let's recall the perfect square binomial formula:
Let's continue and apply this formula to the area expression we got:
This is the most simplified expression for the given square's area,
therefore the correct answer is answer D.
