In which visual model do two equal rectangle areas combine to form 2ab?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a+b)²

The direct answer is A, (a+b)². Divide each side of a square into lengths a and b. The resulting model has one a-by-a square of area a², one b-by-b square of area b², and two equal rectangles. Each rectangle has dimensions a and b, so each has area ab. Adding the two rectangle areas gives ab+ab = 2ab. Therefore the complete area is a²+2ab+b² = (a+b)². Option A is correct because its middle term is positive 2ab. Option B, (a−b)², has the algebraic form a²−2ab+b²; its two mixed regions contribute a negative middle term in the identity. Option C contains only one ab, not two equal rectangle contributions. Option D, a²−b², is a difference of squares and does not contain a 2ab middle term. The model helps explain why the coefficient 2 appears: there are two, not one, identical mixed rectangles. Memory cue: plus-square means two positive ab rectangles; minus-square means a negative middle term.
