If a model is made for a square of side (a+2b), what is the total area of both mixed rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4ab

The direct answer is B: 4ab. Divide the square of side a+2b into an a-by-a square, a 2b-by-2b square, and two mixed rectangles. Each mixed rectangle has side lengths a and 2b, so its area is a×2b=2ab. Since there are two such rectangles, their total area is 2ab+2ab=4ab. Option A gives the area of only one mixed rectangle, not both. Option C is the area of neither required mixed rectangle; it also has the wrong type of term because (2b)²=4b² is the small square’s area. Option D combines the two square areas, a² and 4b², and leaves out the mixed rectangles. This is also visible in (a+2b)²=a²+4ab+4b²: the middle term 4ab is precisely the combined area of the two mixed rectangles. Memory cue: two identical cross-parts double one rectangle’s area.
