A square model has corner areas 4x² and 25. If the model represents (2x+5)², what is the total area of the two rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 20x

The direct answer is B: 20x. A square with side 2x+5 is divided by separating each side into 2x and 5. The corner squares have areas (2x)(2x)=4x² and 5×5=25. The two remaining rectangles each have dimensions 2x and 5, so each has area (2x)(5)=10x. Since there are two such rectangles, their combined area is 10x+10x=20x. Option A gives the area of only one rectangle, not both. Option B correctly counts both middle rectangles. Option C, 25x, incorrectly combines the constant 5 with x rather than multiplying the actual side lengths. Option D doubles the correct total. The full identity is (2x+5)²=4x²+20x+25. Memory cue: in (a+b)², the two middle rectangles together produce 2ab.
