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

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 12

The correct answer is B, 12. In the identity \((a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\), the two middle rectangles together have area \(2ab\). Here a=3 and b=2, so their combined area is \(2\times3\times2=12\). Equivalently, one rectangle has dimensions 3 and 2, so its area is 6; there are two such rectangles, giving \(6+6=12\). A is only the area of one middle rectangle. C is \(2^2\), the area of the small square, not the two rectangles. D is the whole square’s area, \((3+2)^2=25\). Memory cue: the two cross-rectangles give the middle term \(2ab\), not just ab.
