To solve the quadratic equation \(x^2 + 10x + 25 = 0\) using the perfect square trinomial pattern, we can recognize that the left-hand side can be factored as follows:

The expression \(x^2 + 10x + 25\) can be rewritten as:

\[
(x + 5)^2 = 0
\]

Now, to solve for \(x\), we will take the square root of both sides:

\[
x + 5 = 0
\]

Subtracting 5 from both sides gives:

\[
x = -5
\]

Thus, the solution to the equation \(x^2 + 10x + 25 = 0\) is:

\[
\boxed{-5}
\]
