In a square model of side a + b, if a² + b² is placed near the diagonal, what is the total area of the remaining two parts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2ab

The governing concept is the area model for the identity (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b². The complete square has side a + b, so its area is (a + b)². Within the model, one square contributes a² and another contributes b². The two remaining regions are rectangles, each with side lengths a and b, so each has area ab. Their combined area is therefore ab + ab = 2ab. Equivalently, subtracting the two known square areas from the whole gives (a+b)² − a² − b² = a² + 2ab + b² − a² − b² = 2ab. Hence option B is correct. Option A gives only one rectangle, C belongs to a difference-of-squares expression, and D represents a length rather than an area.
