In an area-based visual model of a square, which regions are needed to represent (a+b)^2?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a^2+ab+ab+b^2

The direct answer is option A: a^2+ab+ab+b^2. A square with side a+b is divided by one line in each direction, producing four regions. The a-by-a square has area a^2. The a-by-b and b-by-a rectangles each have area ab, so together they contribute ab+ab. The b-by-b square has area b^2. Thus the total area is a^2+ab+ab+b^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2. Option B includes only the two square regions and omits both cross-rectangles. Option C includes only one ab rectangle, so it misses half of the middle contribution. Option D has no correct area-model decomposition: it replaces the two ab rectangles with 2b^2, which is a different type of area. The visual model is especially useful because it shows why the middle term has coefficient 2. Memory cue: a binomial square always has two cross-products.
