In the area model of a square with side (x+k), the middle term is 18x and the corner is 81. What is k?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 9; the corner side

Correct answer: B. Expand the square: (x+k)²=x²+2kx+k². Comparing this with the given information, the middle term 2kx is 18x, so 2k=18 and k=9. The corner term gives a second check: k²=81, and the positive side value consistent with the plus sign is k=9. Option A copies the middle coefficient without dividing by 2. Option C uses the corner area itself as the side; since k²=81, the side is its square root, not 81. Option D is not supported by either condition and results from an incorrect halving or root selection. A useful check is to substitute k=9: (x+9)²=x²+18x+81, exactly matching the model.
