In an area diagram, a square of side (a+1) is divided into four parts. What will be the total area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a²+2a+1

The correct answer is A: a²+2a+1. The area of any square is side × side. Here, each side is (a+1), so the total area is (a+1)(a+1)=(a+1)². Using the square identity (x+y)²=x²+2xy+y², with x=a and y=1, we get a²+2(a)(1)+1²=a²+2a+1. In the area model, the four parts are an a×a square of area a², two rectangles each of area a×1=a, and a 1×1 square of area 1. Therefore their sum is a²+a+a+1=a²+2a+1. Option B misses one a-sized rectangle, so its middle term is too small. Option C leaves out both mixed rectangles. Option D has the wrong leading term and does not represent the four pieces. Memory cue: for (a+1)², remember square, twice the product, square: a²+2a+1.
