A student writes only (x^2+4) for the model of ((x+2)^2). Based on the visual model, what is the mistake?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The student omitted two 2x rectangles

The correct answer is B: the two 2x rectangles were omitted. A square of side x+2 can be divided into four parts: an x by x square with area x^2, two rectangles with dimensions x and 2 and area 2x each, and a 2 by 2 corner square with area 4. Therefore, the complete area is x^2+2x+2x+4=x^2+4x+4. The expression x^2+4 includes only the two square parts and misses both rectangular strips. A is wrong because the x^2 part appears once, not twice. C is wrong because the 2 by 2 corner has positive area 4. D is wrong because the given side is x+2, not x-2. Memory cue: in (x+a)^2, the two side strips together always produce 2ax.
