In a model, (4x²+12x+9) is arranged as a square. What is the area of each of the two middle strips?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6x

Direct answer: Option B, 6x. Rewrite the expression as (2x+3)²: (2x)²+2(2x)(3)+3²=4x²+12x+9. In the area model, the two middle rectangles are equal. Their combined area is the middle term 12x, so each rectangle has area 12x÷2=6x. Option A, 3x, is only half of the constant-side length multiplied by x and does not give the required total when doubled. Option B is correct because 6x+6x=12x. Option C, 12x, is the area of both strips together, not each one. Option D, 9x, confuses the constant square’s area 9 with a strip area. A useful check is to identify the two equal cross-products: each is (2x)(3)=6x.
