If the model of x² + 6x + 9 is a perfect square, what is the area of each of the two equal rectangular strips?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3x, the area of each strip

Direct answer: A. Compare the expression with the perfect-square identity (x + k)² = x² + 2kx + k². Since the middle term is 6x, we have 2k = 6 and therefore k = 3. The visual model has one x by x square, two equal rectangles measuring x by 3, and one 3 by 3 square. Each rectangular strip has area x × 3 = 3x. Together, the two strips contribute 3x + 3x = 6x, which is the middle term. Option A asks for one strip and is correct. Option B is the combined area of both strips, not each one. Option C multiplies unlike dimensions and does not represent a model part. Option D is a length, x + 3, rather than an area. Memory cue: in a perfect square, split the middle coefficient equally; 6x becomes 3x + 3x.
