In a square visual model, the areas of two smaller squares are a^2 and b^2, and each of the remaining two rectangles has area ab. Which identity does this model represent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

The direct answer is A. Add the four regions in the complete square: the first small square has area a^2, the second has area b^2, and the two rectangles contribute ab+ab=2ab. Thus the total area is a^2+2ab+b^2. The outer side is made by joining lengths a and b, so it is a+b; its area is (a+b)^2. Therefore (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2. Option B has -2ab and would require the mixed rectangles to be negative or arranged for subtraction, which is not the model described. Options C and D are equivalent forms of the difference-of-squares identity and involve subtraction, not two positive ab rectangles filling one complete square. Memory cue: two positive ab rectangles mean +2ab; two negative mixed parts mean -2ab.
