The outer side of a square is 3a − 2b. Based on the visual model, what is the middle term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: −12ab

The correct answer is C: −12ab. The square area is (3a − 2b)². Use (u + v)² = u² + 2uv + v² with u = 3a and v = −2b. The middle term is 2uv = 2(3a)(−2b) = −12ab. The complete expansion is 9a² − 12ab + 4b². In the visual model, each mixed rectangle contributes (3a)(−2b) = −6ab, and the two equal rectangles together contribute −12ab. Option A has the wrong sign. Option B is only the magnitude of one mixed contribution doubled incorrectly. Option D is the area of one mixed rectangle, not both. The negative sign comes from subtracting 2b in the side.
