If the area model forms the complete square (x^2-12x+36), what is considered the total area of the two removed rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (12x)

Direct answer: B, 12x. Compare the expression with the identity (x-6)^2=x^2-2(6)x+6^2=x^2-12x+36. In the area model, the two equal rectangles come from the products x×6 and 6×x. Each rectangle therefore has area 6x. Adding the two equal areas gives 6x+6x=12x, which is the negative middle term in magnitude; the minus sign indicates removal, while the question asks for total area, so we state 12x rather than -12x. Option A gives only one rectangle, not both. Option B counts both rectangles correctly. Option C is 36, the area of the small 6-by-6 square, not the removed strips. Option D doubles 12x again and has no matching pair of rectangles. A useful check is that the coefficient of x in the middle term is twice the side of the small square: 2×6=12.
