In a model, \(x^2+2xk+k^2\) is a perfect square. If the total area of the linear strips is \(16x\), what is the corner area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 64

The correct answer is B: the corner area is 64. The identity \(x^2+2xk+k^2=(x+k)^2\) contains two equal linear strips. Each strip has area \(xk\), so their combined area is \(2xk\). The question says this total is \(16x\), giving \(2xk=16x\). For nonzero \(x\), divide by \(2x\): \(k=8\). The corner is a square with side \(k\), so its area is \(k^2=8^2=64\). A is just the given coefficient value and is not the corner square. C is the value of k, not its area. D is \(16^2\), which incorrectly squares the total strip coefficient instead of finding k first. The visual model requires distinguishing a strip area \(xk\) from the corner area \(k^2\). Memory cue: first halve the total linear-strip area relative to x to find k, then square k for the corner.
