In a square of side a+b, if the two ab rectangles are mistakenly counted only once, what area will be written?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a²+ab+b²

The direct answer is B: a²+ab+b². The correct area model for a square of side a+b contains four parts: one a² square, two ab rectangles, and one b² square. Its correct total is a²+2ab+b². If the two equal ab rectangles are mistakenly counted only once, one ab contribution is omitted. The written area then becomes a²+ab+b². Option A is the correct complete area, but it is not the result of the stated mistake. Option B accurately represents the undercount. Option C is the difference-of-squares form and does not describe this square. Option D leaves out the b² corner as well, so it is an even larger error. Memory cue: the coefficient 2 in 2ab records the two congruent cross-rectangles; forgetting one changes 2ab to ab.
