A grid model has total area x² + 2kx + k². When will it be a visual model of a perfect square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Always, with side x + k

The direct answer is D: it is always a perfect-square model with side x + k. Use the identity (x + k)² = x² + 2xk + k², and 2xk is the same as 2kx. Visually, a square of side x + k can be divided into an x-by-x square of area x², two rectangles of area xk each, and a k-by-k square of area k². Their total is x² + xk + xk + k² = x² + 2kx + k². A is wrong because the expression is explicitly a square identity. B is wrong because k = 0 is only one special case, not a requirement. C is wrong because x and k need not be equal. D correctly states both the general condition and the side length. The word always assumes values for which the displayed lengths form a valid geometric model. Memory cue: first term square, last term square, and middle term twice their product.
