The side of a square is (y+5). According to the area model, what will be the middle term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10y

Direct answer: Option A, 10y. A square with side y+5 has area (y+5)². Apply the identity (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b² with a=y and b=5. The large square contributes y². The two equal cross-rectangles have areas y×5=5y and 5×y=5y, so together they contribute 5y+5y=10y. The small corner square has area 5²=25. Thus the full expansion is y²+10y+25, and the middle term is 10y. Option B is only the area of one cross-rectangle, so it misses the second identical part. Option C is the constant term produced by the 5-by-5 corner. Option D is the first term produced by the y-by-y square. The key visual idea is that squaring a binomial creates two cross-parts, which is why the coefficient is 2ab rather than ab. A quick memory cue is: in (a+b)², the middle term is twice the product of the two side parts.
