What is the middle term in the visual expansion of a square with side (a+2b)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4ab

The direct answer is B. The square has side a+2b, so its area is (a+2b)^2. Use the identity (x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2 with x=a and y=2b. The middle term is 2xy=2(a)(2b)=4ab. In a visual model, this term comes from two equal rectangles: each has dimensions a and 2b and therefore area 2ab; together they give 2ab+2ab=4ab. A forgets the second rectangle or fails to include the coefficient 2 in 2b. C is only twice b^2 and is not the cross term. D contains the two square areas a^2 and 4b^2 but omits the two rectangles, so it is incomplete. Memory cue: in a binomial square, the middle term is twice the product of the complete two terms, not just twice ab.
