In the area model of a square with side \(2a+3\), what is the total area of the two rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(12a\)

The direct answer is B, \(12a\). Split each side of the square into lengths \(2a\) and 3. The area model then contains one \(2a\) by \(2a\) square, one 3 by 3 square, and two identical mixed rectangles. Each mixed rectangle has area \((2a)(3)=6a\). Since there are two of them, their combined area is \(6a+6a=12a\). This is also the middle term in \((2a+3)^2=(2a)^2+2(2a)(3)+3^2=4a^2+12a+9\). Option A counts only one mixed rectangle. Option C is the area of the square with side \(2a\), not the mixed parts. Option D is the area of the small square with side 3. A helpful check is to remember that the two cross-regions always produce the factor \(2uv\) in \((u+v)^2\).
