    Question

    For what value of A, will the expression (13.56 × 13.56 + 13.56 × A + 0.04 × 0.04) be a perfect square?

    A.

    0.12

    B.

    0.04

    C.

    0.16

    D.

    0.08

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Expression: 13.56 × 13.56 + 13.56 × A + 0.04 × 0.04

    Formula Used:

    (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2​​

    Solution:

    Let the expression be (13.56+0.04)2(13.56 + 0.04)^2​​
    So, 

    (13.56+0.04)2=13.562+2×13.56×0.04+0.042(13.56 + 0.04)^2 = 13.56^2 + 2 \times 13.56 \times 0.04 + 0.04^2​​

    =13.562+13.56×0.08+0.042=13.56^2 + 13.56 \times 0.08 + 0.04^2​​

    Comparing with given expression:

    A must be 0.08
