In a rectangle model, the length is (x+2) and the breadth is (x+7). What is the sum of the four component areas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x²+9x+14

The correct answer is A: x²+9x+14. Split the first side into x and 2, and the second side into x and 7. The rectangle then has four parts: x×x=x², x×7=7x, 2×x=2x, and 2×7=14. Add them: x²+7x+2x+14 = x²+9x+14. This is also the distributive expansion (x+2)(x+7). Option B places 14 as the coefficient of x and 9 as the constant, reversing the roles of the cross-products and corner. Option C uses 5x, which would come from adding 2 and 3, not 2 and 7. Option D has the wrong sign for the constant; both dimensions contain positive numbers, so the constant product is +14. Memory cue: in (x+a)(x+b), the middle coefficient is a+b and the constant is ab.
