A square model contains 6², two 6 × 4 rectangles and a 4² square. What is the total area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 100

The direct answer is D, 100. Area tells us how much surface each part covers, so we add the areas of all four non-overlapping parts. The first square has area 6² = 36. Each rectangle has area length × breadth = 6 × 4 = 24, and there are two such rectangles, giving 24 + 24 = 48. The final square has area 4² = 16. Therefore, total area = 36 + 48 + 16 = 100. This also matches the identity (6 + 4)² = 6² + 2(6)(4) + 4² = 100. Option A, 76, is too small and does not include all four parts. Option B, 84, also results from an incomplete or incorrect addition. Option C, 96, is short by 4 and usually indicates that one part has been counted incorrectly. Option D, 100, includes both rectangles and both square regions, so it is correct. Memory cue: in a square model of (a+b)², remember square, two rectangles, square: a² + 2ab + b².
