In a square model of (x²+2xy+y²), only the outer perimeter is observed instead of adding the four areas. Why is this method wrong?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the identity is based on area

Direct answer: Option A, because the identity is based on area. The expression x²+2xy+y² represents the area of a square with side x+y: one x² square, two xy rectangles, and one y² square. Adding these four areas gives (x+y)². Perimeter measures boundary length and has different units from area, so it cannot replace the sum of the tile areas. Option A is correct. Option B is false: perimeter is not always x²; for a square of side x+y it is 4(x+y). Option C is false because every rectangle has an area, found by length×width. Option D is also false: y² is an area component, not something to add to a perimeter. Common warning: do not mix area and boundary length, even when the same diagram contains both.
