To solve the quadratic equation \( x^2 + 10x + 25 = 0 \) using the perfect square trinomial pattern, we first recognize that the left side can be expressed as a square of a binomial.

The equation can be factored as:

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

Now, we can set the squared term equal to zero:

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

Next, we take the square root of both sides:

\[
x + 5 = 0
\]

Now, solve for \( x \):

\[
x = -5
\]

So the solution to the equation is:

\[
\boxed{-5}
\]
