If a square area model has parts x², 5x, 5x, and 25, what is the whole area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 10x + 25

The correct answer is B. The whole area is found by adding every separate region in the model: x² + 5x + 5x + 25. The two like terms combine as 5x + 5x = 10x, so the result is x² + 10x + 25. This also equals (x + 5)², which confirms the area-model identity. Option A leaves out one of the two 5x rectangles. Option C gives the wrong coefficient to x and changes the constant arrangement. Option D uses 5 instead of the required 25 for the small square. The key step is to count both matching rectangular parts before combining like terms. Memory cue: in (x + 5)², the middle contribution is 2 × x × 5 = 10x.
