Which visual model can catch the mistake that (x+5)² is not x²+25?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Square model with two (5x) rectangles

The direct answer is A. A square with side x+5 is divided into an x by x square, two rectangles of dimensions x by 5, and a 5 by 5 square. Their areas are x², 5x, 5x and 25. Thus (x+5)²=x²+5x+5x+25=x²+10x+25, not merely x²+25. Option A is the model that visibly displays the two missing middle regions, so it catches the common error of squaring each term separately and forgetting the cross terms. B shows only one part and cannot represent the complete square. C uses x−5, which belongs to a different identity. D represents (x+5)(x−5)=x²−25, the difference-of-squares situation, not (x+5)². Memory cue: when adding two lengths inside a square, two cross-rectangles must appear.
