In a square of side (x + 4), two edge strips together have area 8x. What is the area of the small corner square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 16

The correct answer is D, 16 square units. The side x + 4 can be viewed as an x-part plus a 4-part. When the square is split into visual pieces, the two edge strips have areas 4x and 4x, giving 8x altogether. The remaining small corner is a square whose side is 4, so its area is 4² = 16. This also agrees with the identity (x + 4)² = x² + 8x + 16. Option A, 8, is the coefficient of x in the total strip area, not the corner area. Option B, 4x, is the area of one strip. Option C, 16x, has an unnecessary x and does not represent a square with side 4. Option D is correct because the corner has dimensions 4 by 4. Memory cue: the constant term in (x + a)² is a², the corner-square area.
