A square garden has area 2025 m². What is its side?
A35 m
B40 m
C45 m
D50 m
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 45 m
side = √area = √2025. Using the (a5)² shortcut in reverse: a(a+1) hundreds + 25 = 2025 means a(a+1) = 20, so a = 4 (since 4·5 = 20). Hence side = 45 m. Check: 45² = 4 × 5 × 100 + 25 = 2025 ✓
