In a square model of (x+y), if two (xy) rectangles are combined into one long rectangle, what is its area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (2xy)

The direct answer is B: the combined rectangle has area 2xy. Each original rectangle has one side x and the other side y, so its area is x multiplied by y, or xy. There are two such rectangles, and they are joined without overlap or a gap. Area is additive, so their total area is xy+xy=2xy. Changing the arrangement can make a longer rectangle, but it cannot change the amount of surface covered. This is also the middle part of the identity (x+y)^2 = x^2+2xy+y^2. Option A counts only one of the two rectangles. Option B correctly counts both rectangles. Option C is the sum of the two square regions, x^2 and y^2, rather than the mixed rectangles. Option D adds lengths or perimeter-like quantities; it is not an area expression and does not represent two xy regions. A useful check is to count pieces first: two pieces, each of area xy, give 2xy.
