Correct option is A
Given:
Side of the first square = cm
Side of the second square = cm
Formula Used:
Area of a square = Side2
Algebraic identity:
Solution:
Area of the first square =
Area of the second square =
Sum of the areas =
Using the algebraic identity where a = 5 and b =
Sum =
Sum = 2(25 + 3)
Sum = 2(28)
Sum = 56
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (a)
