In a square model, the outer area is (x+y)^2 and the sum of two small squares is (x^2+y^2). What is the combined area of the two rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2xy

The direct answer is C: 2xy. The complete square has area (x+y)^2. Its parts are two small squares with total area x^2+y^2 and two remaining rectangles. Therefore, the rectangles together have area (x+y)^2-(x^2+y^2). Expand the square: x^2+2xy+y^2. After subtracting x^2+y^2, only 2xy remains. Equivalently, each rectangle has side lengths x and y, so each has area xy; two such rectangles give xy+xy=2xy. A is only the area of one rectangle, not both. B is the whole outer square, so it includes the two small squares as well. D is the difference of two squares and does not represent the two cross-rectangles in this model. Memory cue: in (x+y)^2, the two cross-parts together always produce 2xy.
