Which one of the following formulas correctly expresses this statement: a quantity x is equal to the sum of the squares of a and b? a. x = √a + b b. x = √ab c. x = 2a + 2b d. x = a2 + b2

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the expresses this statement: A quantity x is equal to the sum of the squares of a and b.

The square of a can be written as a² and the square of b can be written as b².

The sum of squares of a and b can be written as

Since the quantity x is equal to the sum of the squares of a and b, therefore

Therefore option D is correct.
