In a square of side (a+2b), what is the area of the small square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4b²

The direct answer is B: 4b². In the visual model, the side a+2b is split into lengths a and 2b. The small square is the part whose side is 2b. The area of any square is side×side, so its area is (2b)²=2b×2b=4b². Option A forgets one factor of 2 and therefore gives only half the correct coefficient. Option C, 2ab, is the area of one mixed rectangle with sides a and 2b, not the area of a square. Option D, a², is the area of the other square, whose side is a. The complete identity is (a+2b)²=a²+4ab+4b², and the last term represents this small square. A quick check with a=3 and b=2 gives small-square side 4 and area 16; 4b²=4×4=16. Memory cue: for a square, square the complete side expression of that part.
