Let's tackle the questions one by one.

### Question 1
For the trinomial: ___x² + 40x + 100

A perfect square trinomial takes the form \((ax + b)^2\) where the middle term is \(2ab\) and the last term is \(b^2\).

Here, \(40 = 2ab\). So, we find \(b\) by solving \(b = 40/(2a)\).

In this case, since we are looking for \(b²\):
- The last term is \(100\), which is \(b^2\). Therefore:
- \(b = √100 = 10\).

Thus, \(b = 10\).

So, the missing term is **10**.

### Question 2
Select the polynomial that is a perfect square trinomial.
- **36x² − 4x + 16** (not a perfect square since the middle term is not twice the product of the square roots of the other two terms).
- **16x² − 8x + 36** (not a perfect square).
- **25x² + 9x + 4** (not a perfect square).
- **4x² + 20x + 25** (this is \((2x + 5)^2\)).

So, the correct answer is **4x² + 20x + 25**.

### Question 3
Rhett's area of the room: \(4x² + 28x + 49\).

Let's factor \(4x² + 28x + 49\):
1. \(= (2x + 7)²\)

Thus, the length of one side of the room is **(2x + 7) feet**.

### Question 4
Factor completely: \(x² − 10x + 25\).

This is a perfect square trinomial:
- \(= (x - 5)(x - 5)\) or \((x - 5)²\)

So, the answer is **(x − 5)(x − 5)**.

### Question 5
Factor completely: \(3x² + 5x + 1\).

To factor this, we can look for two numbers that multiply to \(3 \times 1 = 3\) and add up to \(5\). The correct factorization is:
\(= (3x + 1)(x + 1)\).

So, the answer is **(3x + 1)(x + 1)**.

### Question 6
For \(2x² − 12xy − 32y² = 2(x - 8y)(x + By)\):

To find \(B\), we can match the coefficients:
- The term that would arise from \(-8y\) would yield \(B\) to satisfy \(-12y\).
- Thus, we have \(B = -4\).

So, the answer is **−4**.

### Question 7
Factor completely: \(8x² − 4x − 84\).

First, factor out the common factor of \(4\):
- \(= 4(2x² - x - 21)\).

Now we factor \(2x² - x - 21\):
- This factors to \( (2x + 7)(x - 3) \).

Combining:
- \(= 4(2x + 7)(x - 3)\).

So, the answer is **4(2x − 3)(x + 7)**.

### Question 8
Factor completely: \(16x² + 40x + 25\).

This is another perfect square:
- \(= (4x + 5)^2\).

The answer is **(4x + 5)(4x + 5)**.

### Question 9
Factor completely: \(2x² + 9x + 4\).

We look for two numbers that multiply to \(2 \times 4 = 8\) and add up to \(9\). The correct factorization is:
- \(= (2x + 1)(x + 4)\).

So, the answer is **(2x + 1)(x + 4)**.

### Question 10
Factor completely: \(3x² − 11x + 8\).

We look for factors that multiply to \(3 \times 8 = 24\) and add up to \(-11\). The correct factorization is:
- \(= (x - 8)(3x - 1)\).

So, the answer is **(x − 8)(3x − 1)**.
