Let's go through this step by step:
1. First, we need to calculate the square of 3.
[tex]\[
3^2 = 9
\][/tex]
2. Next, we calculate the square of 4.
[tex]\[
4^2 = 16
\][/tex]
3. Now, we add the two squares together.
[tex]\[
9 + 16
\][/tex]
4. Doing the addition gives us:
[tex]\[
9 + 16 = 25
\][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\(3^2 + 4^2\)[/tex] is [tex]\(25\)[/tex].
The correct answer is [tex]\(25\)[/tex].
