Answer

The side length of the square is $5r+3$.

Work Step by Step

$25r^{2}+30r+9=$ ...write first and last terms as squares. $=(5r)^{2}+30r+(3)^{2}$ ...does middle term equal $2ab$? $30r=2\cdot(5r)\cdot(3)$ $=(5r)^{2}+2\cdot(5r)\cdot(3)+(3)^{2}$ ...write as the square of a binomial. $=(5r+3)^{2}$
