In a rectangle model, the parts are x², 2x, 9x, and 18. What are the side lengths?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x+2 and x+9

The direct answer is option B: x+2 and x+9. In an area model, the central x² tile comes from multiplying x by x. A strip of area 2x has dimensions x and 2, while a strip of area 9x has dimensions x and 9. The remaining corner must then have area 2×9=18. Therefore the two side lengths are x+2 and x+9. Multiplying confirms this: (x+2)(x+9)=x²+9x+2x+18=x²+11x+18, exactly the sum of the four model parts. Option A incorrectly uses 11, which is only the combined coefficient of the two x terms, as a side length; 18 is the corner area, not a side. Option C would give corner product 3×6=18, but its strips would be 3x and 6x, not 2x and 9x. Option D has negative side pieces and would produce negative middle terms. Always match each strip and check the corner product.
