If a square of side (a+b+c) is cut into smaller regions to make an area model, how many rectangles of type (ab) will appear?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2

Correct answer: B, 2 rectangles. Imagine that each side of the large square is divided into lengths a, b, and c. In the area model, the horizontal part of length a and the vertical part of length b form one rectangle with area ab. The horizontal part of length b and the vertical part of length a form another rectangle with area ba. Since multiplication is commutative, ba equals ab. Thus the two regions together contribute ab+ab=2ab. Option A counts only one orientation and misses the second rectangle. Option C incorrectly counts three rectangles, although there are only two ways to pair a and b. Option D counts too many regions and has no basis in the model. Memory cue: in (a+b+c)^2, every product of two different terms appears twice: 2ab, 2bc, and 2ca.
