If in the model of (a+b)², a² = 64, b² = 36, and both a and b are positive, what is the combined rectangular area 2ab?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 96

The direct answer is option C: 96. The given square areas allow us to find the positive side lengths because a and b are stated to be positive: a = √64 = 8 and b = √36 = 6. The model of (a+b)² contains two rectangles, each with area ab = 8×6 = 48. Their combined area is 2ab = 2×48 = 96. Option A, 100, is a common error from adding 64 and 36, which gives the two corner-square areas together but not the rectangular middle area. Option B is only ab, one rectangle, not both. Option D, 28, is the difference between the side lengths or between other given values and does not represent 2ab. The positivity condition matters because square roots could otherwise have signs, but the visual side lengths are taken positive. Memory cue: square areas first give side lengths; then multiply the two sides and double the result.
