In the visual model of a square with side (2x+3), what will be the total area of the two equal rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (12x)

Direct answer: B, 12x. A square with side 2x+3 can be split into lengths 2x and 3 along each direction. The two cross-shaped rectangular parts have dimensions 2x by 3 and 3 by 2x. Each therefore has area (2x)(3)=6x. Since there are two equal rectangles, their combined area is 6x+6x=12x. This is the middle term in (2x+3)^2: (2x)^2+2(2x)(3)+3^2=4x^2+12x+9. Option A is only the area of one rectangle. Option B correctly includes both. Option C is (3x)^2-like thinking and does not represent either rectangle. Option D is 4x, not the product of the two rectangle side lengths. The key idea is that the middle term in a binomial square comes from two equal rectangles, not from the two square corners. Memory cue: calculate one strip, then double it.
