Question

A square has sides of length (2 a-b) metres. Write down an expression for the area of the square and simplify it​

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 4a² - 4ab + b²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a square is calculated as

A = s² ( s is the side length ) , so

A = (2a - b)² ← expand using FOIL

   = (2a)² - 2ab - 2ab + (- b)²

   = 4a² - 4ab + b²
