In a square of side (x + 2y), what will be the combined middle term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4xy

The correct answer is B: 4xy. The area of the square is (x + 2y)^2. Use the identity (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2, with a = x and b = 2y. The combined middle term is 2ab = 2 × x × 2y = 4xy. In the visual model, there are two equal rectangles; each has dimensions x and 2y, so each area is 2xy. Adding the two gives 4xy. Option A is the area of only one rectangle, because it omits the second rectangle. Option B correctly includes both. Option C is part of the final square term only if the expression is handled differently; it is not the mixed term. Option D is 4y^2, which has no factor x and represents neither the middle rectangles nor the correct square term. Be careful to use the complete term 2y as b, not just y. Memory cue: the middle term is twice the product of the complete two side pieces.
