In an area model, both side lengths are (3a − 2). What is the total area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 9a² − 12a + 4

The correct answer is B, 9a² − 12a + 4. Since both sides are equal, the shape is a square and its area is (3a − 2)². Apply (p − q)² = p² − 2pq + q² with p = 3a and q = 2. The first square is (3a)² = 9a²; the middle term is −2(3a)(2) = −12a; and the last square is 2² = 4. Thus the total is 9a² − 12a + 4. Option A omits the middle term, so it is incomplete. Option B has every term and the correct signs. Option C incorrectly squares 3a as 6a² instead of 9a². Option D has a positive middle term, which would belong to (3a + 2)². Memory cue: a minus inside a square creates a negative middle term, but the final square remains positive.
