If a rectangle model has four parts with areas x², 4x, 5x, and 20, what can its outer dimensions be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x + 4) and (x + 5)

Direct answer: B, (x + 4) and (x + 5). Multiply the proposed dimensions: (x + 4)(x + 5) = x² + 5x + 4x + 20 = x² + 9x + 20. A rectangle model with sides split into x and 4 in one direction and x and 5 in the other produces exactly four regions: x·x = x², x·5 = 5x, 4·x = 4x, and 4·5 = 20. Option A gives (x+9)(x+20), which produces x² + 29x + 180, not the listed parts. Option B matches every part and is correct. Option C gives x² + 12x + 20, so its middle regions do not match 4x and 5x. Option D gives x² + 21x + 20 and also has the wrong middle terms. Memory cue: pair the two x-terms with the two constant side lengths; the constants must multiply to the corner area 20.
