The Area of a Square is the square of the measure of one side of the square.
Hence, given the expression for the area of a square, express the given area as the square of an expression to get the measure of one side.
The given expression is:
Rewrite the expression as:
Recall the binomial expansion:
Substituting a=10x and b=8, it follows that the expression becomes:
Since the area of a square is the square of the measure of one side, it follows that the measure of one side from the given expression is 10x-8.
