Multiple Choice

A machinist is calculating the surface area of a square metal plate with a side length of (4−25)(4 - 2\sqrt{5}) centimeters. To find the area, the machinist must square the side length using the pattern (a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2. Which of the following is the correctly simplified expression for the area (4−25)2(4 - 2\sqrt{5})^2?
