A square of side 10 cm is divided into parts of lengths 7 cm and 3 cm to illustrate (7+3)². What is the total area of the two rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 42 वर्ग सेमी

The correct answer is A: 42 square centimetres. In the identity (a+b)², the two equal rectangles together have area 2ab. Here a=7 and b=3, so their combined area is 2×7×3 = 14×3 = 42 cm². You can also see the two separate rectangles: each has area 7×3=21 cm², and 21+21=42 cm². Option B is the area of only one rectangle, not both. Option C does not follow from the rectangle-area calculation and is not a component of the square decomposition. Option D is the area of the entire 10 cm by 10 cm square, 10²=100 cm², not just the two rectangles. The remaining two square parts have areas 49 cm² and 9 cm², and 49+42+9=100, confirming the model. Memory cue: two cross-parts always give 2ab.
