In a model, strips of total area (14x) are added on two sides of an (x²) square. How much corner area must be added to complete the square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 49

The direct answer is option A: 49. The total area of the two equal strips is 14x, so each strip has area 7x. Since each strip is attached to a side of the x² square, its other dimension is x; therefore its width is (7x) ÷ x = 7. To complete the larger square, the missing corner is a square of side 7. Its area is 7² = 49. This is the completing-the-square pattern x² + 14x + 49 = (x + 7)². Option B is only the total strip area and is not a corner area. Option C is a length or algebraic strip area expression, not the constant corner area. Option D squares 14 instead of halving the middle coefficient. Memory cue: for x² + bx, halve b and square the result; here 14 ÷ 2 = 7 and 7² = 49.
