Answer:

Each side = 4m-5

Step-by-step explanation:

16m2 - 40m + 25

factor:

(4m - 5)(4m - 5)

Each side = 4m-5

Answer:

The expression for each side = 4m - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the expression for the area. As the figure is a square both factors should be identical.

16m^2 - 40m + 25:

16m^2 and 25 are both perfect squares so looks like the factors are

(4m - 5)(4m - 5)

The signs are negative because the middle term is - 40m.

If we expand the factors we get:

4m*4m - 5*4m - 5*4m -5*-5

16m^2 - 20m - 20m + 25

= 16m^2 - 40m + 25  which is the original expression, so this confirms our result.
