A tile model p² + 18p + 81 forms a perfect square. If the middle part consists of two equal rectangles, what is the area of each rectangle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 9p

The correct answer is A: 9p. First recognize p² + 18p + 81 as (p + 9)², because p² + 2(p)(9) + 9² = p² + 18p + 81. In the tile model, the middle term 18p is split into two equal rectangular pieces. Therefore each rectangle has area 18p ÷ 2 = 9p. Option B is the total area of both middle rectangles, not the area of one. Option C incorrectly combines the constant 81 with p. Option D is a side length of the completed square, not an area. The visual meaning of 2ab is important: it represents two rectangles, each with area ab. Here a = p and b = 9, so each is 9p. Memory cue: divide the middle term by two when the model has two equal middle rectangles.
