If in a square of side (x+7), the total area of two equal rectangles is (14x), what is the side of the small square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7

The direct answer is option A, 7. In the area model for (x+7)^2, divide each side into lengths x and 7. The two equal cross-rectangles then have dimensions x by 7, so each has area 7x. Together their area is 7x+7x = 14x, exactly as stated. The remaining small corner region has both side lengths equal to 7, so it is a square with side 7 and area 7^2 = 49. Option A asks for the side length, so 7 is correct. Option B, 14, is the coefficient in the total area of the two rectangles, not the small square’s side. Option C, 49, is the area of the small square, not its side. Option D, x, describes the side of the large x-by-x square in the model. Memory cue: in (x+b)^2, the small corner square has side b and area b^2; do not confuse the side with its area.
