Which algebraic expression is represented by a square divided into two squares of areas a² and b², and two rectangles of area ab each?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a+b)²

The correct answer is B: (a+b)². Add the areas of all four parts: the first square contributes a², the two rectangles contribute ab+ab=2ab, and the second square contributes b². Therefore the total area is a²+2ab+b². By the identity (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b², this total is (a+b)². Option A includes the two corner squares but ignores both rectangles. Option C would expand to a²-2ab+b², so its middle contribution is negative, not positive. Option D is a²-b² and represents subtracting one square from another; it has no two positive ab rectangles. Thus B is the only expression matching every region in the model. Memory cue: two positive equal cross-rectangles mean +2ab, which signals the square of a sum.
