Which option correctly writes the visual area of (x + 2)²?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 4x + 4

The correct answer is C. A square with side x + 2 can be divided into an x-by-x square, two rectangles each with area 2x, and a 2-by-2 square with area 4. Adding the parts gives x² + 2x + 2x + 4 = x² + 4x + 4. This is the identity (x + 2)² = x² + 2(x)(2) + 2². Option A omits both rectangular contributions. Option B includes only one 2x rectangle, so its middle term is too small. Option D has the sign used for (x − 2)², not (x + 2)². Memory cue: squaring a sum creates two positive cross-terms, so the middle term is +4x.
