In an area model, a square of area r² is surrounded by two strips, each of area rs, and a small square of area s². What is the total area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: r²+2rs+s²

The direct answer is B: r²+2rs+s². The model contains one central square with area r², two separate strips with area rs each, and one corner square with area s². Because these pieces together form the whole region without overlap, add them once: r² + rs + rs + s² = r² + 2rs + s². This is also the expansion of (r+s)². Option A counts only one of the two strips, so it misses rs. Option B includes the central square, both strips, and the corner square exactly once. Option C subtracts s² even though it is part of the total region. Option D doubles r² and leaves out both strips. Memory cue: two equal mixed areas rs combine to 2rs.
