A visual model is made for a square of side 2x + 5. Which expansion is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x² + 20x + 25

The correct answer is B: 4x² + 20x + 25. The square’s area is (2x + 5)². Use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² with a = 2x and b = 5. The large square has area (2x)² = 4x². There are two cross-rectangles, each with area (2x)(5) = 10x, so together they contribute 20x. The small corner is 5² = 25. Adding the regions gives 4x² + 20x + 25. Option A counts only one cross-rectangle, so its middle term is too small. Option C incorrectly treats (2x)² as 2x² instead of 4x². Option D has incorrect coefficients for the middle and constant terms. Always square the coefficient as well as the variable: (2x)² = 4x².
