A square with side x + 4 is divided into parts of areas x², 4x, 4x, and 16. What is the total area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 8x + 16

The correct answer is A: x² + 8x + 16. The total area of a divided figure is the sum of the areas of all its non-overlapping parts. Add the four regions: x² + 4x + 4x + 16. The two equal rectangular strips combine to give 8x, so the result is x² + 8x + 16. This also agrees with the square identity (x + 4)² = x² + 2(x)(4) + 4² = x² + 8x + 16. B includes only one 4x strip and therefore misses part of the model. C incorrectly changes the two 4x strips into 16x. D has a negative middle term, which would belong to (x − 4)², not a square of side x + 4. Memory cue: in a square-of-a-sum model, add both equal mixed rectangles.
