In an area model, a large square has side x+5, and two squares with areas x² and 25 are shown. What is the total area of the remaining two equal rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10x

The direct answer is B: 10x. The large square has side x+5, so its area is (x+5)²=x²+10x+25. The displayed square regions already account for x² and 25. The part left over is therefore 10x. Visually, the two equal rectangles have dimensions x by 5, so each has area 5x; together their area is 5x+5x=10x. Option A gives the area of only one rectangle, not both. Option C multiplies x by 25 and does not represent either rectangle’s dimensions. Option D is an addition of unlike quantities rather than an area calculation. The middle term in a square expansion comes from the two equal cross-rectangles. Memory cue: in (x+a)², the two strips together always contribute 2ax; here 2·x·5=10x.
