Answer:
D.) x²-10x+25 sq. units
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not properly written. The question should have been:
If each side of a square is (x-5) units, which expression can be used to represent the area of the square.
Area of a square = L² where:
L is the length of the square
Given
L = x-5
Required
Area of the square
Substitute the given function into the formula to get the required as shown:
Area of the square = (x-5)²
Expand
A(x) = (x-5)(x-5)
A(x) = x(x)-5x-5x-5(-5)
A(x) = x²-10x-25
Hence the area of the square is (x²-10x+25)sq. units. Option D is correct.
