A rectangle has sides (a+b) and (a+b). How many ab rectangles appear in the area model?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Two

Direct answer: Option B, two, is correct. Divide the horizontal side into lengths a and b, and do the same vertically. The resulting four regions are an a² square, an ab rectangle, another ab rectangle, and a b² square. The two cross-regions each have dimensions a by b, so each has area ab. Together they contribute 2ab in the identity (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b². Option A counts only one cross-region and overlooks its matching region. Option C is too many because there are only two mixed-length regions. Option D confuses the total number of regions, which is four, with the number whose area is ab. Memory cue: the coefficient 2 in 2ab tells you there are two ab rectangles.
