If a square has side length (2x + 3), what is its expanded area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x² + 12x + 9

The correct answer is A, 4x² + 12x + 9. The area of a square is side², so the required expression is (2x + 3)². Use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², taking a = 2x and b = 3. Then (2x)² = 4x², 2(2x)(3) = 12x, and 3² = 9. Adding the three parts gives 4x² + 12x + 9. Option A includes all three area pieces in the visual model: the large x-part square, the two cross strips, and the corner square. Option B incorrectly changes (2x)² to 2x². Option C uses 6x instead of the doubled cross-term 12x. Option D omits the cross-term altogether. Memory cue: square the first term, double the product, then square the second term.
