A square has side length 2x + 3. What is the total area of the two middle parts in its area model?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 12x

The correct answer is B: 12x. Write the side as a + b with a = 2x and b = 3. In the square model for (a + b)², the two middle rectangles have areas ab and ba. The first is (2x)(3) = 6x, and the second is (3)(2x) = 6x. Their total is 6x + 6x = 12x, which is the middle term 2ab in the expansion (2x + 3)² = 4x² + 12x + 9. Option A gives only one of the two middle rectangles, not their total. Option C incorrectly multiplies 3 by x and misses the factor 2 in the side 2x. Option D is the area of the large 2x by 2x square, so it is the leading term, not the middle area. The 3 by 3 corner contributes 9. Memory cue: always calculate both cross-rectangles; the middle contribution is 2ab, not ab.
