If a square of side (a+b) contains squares of areas a² and b² plus two equal rectangles, what is the combined contribution of the two rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2ab

The correct answer is D: 2ab. Each of the two rectangles has one side a and the other side b. Therefore, the area of one rectangle is a×b=ab. Since there are two equal rectangles, their combined area is ab+ab=2ab. This explains the identity (a+b)² = a²+2ab+b²: the two square tiles contribute a² and b², while the two rectangular tiles provide the middle term 2ab. Option A is the difference of two squares and does not represent the two positive rectangle areas. Option B is the area of only one rectangle. Option C is the sum of the two square areas, not the rectangles. Memory cue: the middle term in a square expansion comes from the two cross-rectangles, so it is twice ab.
