In a square of side \(4x+3\), what is the area of the small corner square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(9\)

The correct answer is D: \(9\). In the area model, separate the side \(4x+3\) into a variable part \(4x\) and a constant part 3. The small corner is formed where the constant part meets itself, so its two side lengths are both 3. Its area is therefore \(3\times3=3^2=9\). Expanding the whole square confirms this: \((4x+3)^2=(4x)^2+2(4x)(3)+3^2=16x^2+24x+9\). The final constant term 9 is exactly the area of the fixed corner. Option A is the area of the large variable square with side \(4x\). Option B is not the correct combined cross-term; one rectangle has area \(12x\), while two together give \(24x\). Option C is the area of both cross-rectangles. Thus none of those terms is the small corner. A useful cue is that the corner made from the constant part contains no variable, so its area must be a constant number.
