If a rectangle with sides (a+2) and (a+9) is divided into four parts, what will be the middle term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 11a

The direct answer is A: 11a. The rectangle’s area is (a+2)(a+9). Divide it into four smaller rectangles: a×a=a^2, a×9=9a, 2×a=2a, and 2×9=18. The two regions containing one variable factor are the cross-regions. Their areas, 9a and 2a, are like terms, so they combine as 9a+2a=11a. Thus the full expansion is a^2+11a+18, and the middle term is 11a. B, 18, is the constant term formed by multiplying 2 and 9. C, 7a, comes from subtracting the coefficients instead of adding them. D has degree two and represents neither cross-region; the a×a region is a^2, not 2a^2. A reliable area-model method is to write all four products before combining like terms. The middle term comes from the two cross-products, not from the corner.
