What is the total area in the visual model of a square with side (2x + 1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x² + 4x + 1

The correct answer is A: 4x² + 4x + 1. A square has equal sides, so its area is side × side. Here the side is 2x + 1, and therefore the area is (2x + 1)². Use the identity (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b², with a = 2x and b = 1. Then a² = (2x)² = 4x², 2ab = 2(2x)(1) = 4x, and b² = 1. Adding these parts gives 4x² + 4x + 1. The visual model shows one square of area 4x², two rectangular pieces whose combined area is 4x, and one small square of area 1. Option B is wrong because it changes (2x)² into 2x². Option C is wrong because it uses only 2x instead of the two equal cross-products, which together make 4x. Option D omits the middle rectangles. The memory cue is “first square, twice the product, last square”: a²+2ab+b².
