In the visual model of (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b², what kind of regions does the term 2ab represent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Two rectangles with sides a and b

The direct answer is A: two rectangles with sides a and b. Partition the large square of side a+b into lengths a and b in both directions. The four regions are an a by a square with area a², two a by b rectangles, each with area ab, and a b by b square with area b². Adding the two equal rectangles gives ab+ab=2ab. Option A is therefore the mixed or cross-term region. Option B represents only the a² part, not 2ab. Option C represents only b². Option D represents the entire large square and has area (a+b)², so it is not one component of the partition. A common confusion is to count only one rectangle and write ab; the coefficient 2 shows that there are two identical rectangles.
