This question is concerning the completion of the square by using plane geometry
The area of a
The area of a rectangle of sides x and y is : xy
Consider the expression : x
2 + 10x
Such can be considered as the sum of two areas viz square x
2 and a rectangle 10x
Now do the following (sketch essential)
Divide the rectangle into two equal areas viz 5x and 5x
Next to the square place the two rectangles with the side x in common. One to the RHS and the other below.
You will now have a ’nearly complete’ square
a) What is the length of each side of the ’missing square’ in your diagram
b) If you add the area of the missing square to make a big square, what is the area of the complete (big) square
c) By using the areas from your sketch, find the expressions ? and ?? in the following:
x
2 + 10x + (?)2 = (??)2
