A visual model is made for a square with side (2a + b). What is the combined area of the two equal rectangles in the model?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4ab

The correct answer is B: the combined area is 4ab. Split each side of the square, whose total length is 2a + b, into parts 2a and b. The visual model then contains one square of side 2a, one square of side b, and two equal rectangles. Each rectangle has length 2a and width b, so the area of one rectangle is (2a)(b) = 2ab. Since there are two such rectangles, their combined area is 2ab + 2ab = 4ab. Option A is only the area of one of the two rectangles, not their total. Options C and D contain square-area terms such as a^2 or b^2, but the question asks only for the two mixed rectangular regions. The key point is that the side segment is 2a, not a. Memory cue: two identical rectangles contribute 2 × (length × width); here that is 2 × (2a × b) = 4ab.
