An area model represents \(z^2+16z+64\). What is the area of the small corner square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(64\)

The correct answer is A: \(64\). In an area model, first recognise the perfect-square identity \((a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\). Here, \(z^2+16z+64\) can be written as \(z^2+2(z)(8)+8^2=(z+8)^2\). Therefore, the large square has side \(z+8\). The model contains a \(z\)-by-\(z\) square with area \(z^2\), two rectangles whose combined area is \(8z+8z=16z\), and a small corner square with side 8. Its area is \(8\times8=64\). Option A is correct because the constant term is the part made only from the fixed length 8. Option B is the combined area of the two variable rectangles, not the corner. Option C is only one possible rectangle area, and it is not the corner square. Option D is the large variable square. A useful memory cue is: in \((z+8)^2\), the last term \(8^2\) gives the fixed corner area.
