Verification of Square Deck Dimensions
A residential remodeling apprentice is verifying the blueprint of a square backyard deck. The blueprint lists the total deck area as square feet. To confirm that the deck is a perfect square and determine its side length, the apprentice must factor this area expression from memory.
Write a short essay that explains how to factor this area expression using the perfect square trinomial pattern. In your explanation, address the following from memory:
- State the algebraic pattern/formula for a positive perfect square trinomial.
- Identify the algebraic expressions for and based on the first term and the last term .
- Verify that the middle term matches the requirement of the pattern.
- State the final factored expression of the area, and specify the binomial that represents the actual side length of the deck.
