If a visual model of (3x+1)² is made, what is the total area of the two middle rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6x, total middle area

The direct answer is option B: 6x. Divide each side of the large square into lengths 3x and 1. This creates a main square of side 3x with area (3x)²=9x², a small corner square of side 1 with area 1²=1, and two equal middle rectangles. Each middle rectangle has dimensions 3x by 1, so each area is 3x. Together their area is 3x+3x=6x. This is the middle term 2ab in the identity (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b², with a=3x and b=1. Option A is only the area of one rectangle, not both. Option C is the main square’s area. Option D is the corner square’s area. A useful memory cue is that the two middle pieces always contribute twice the product of the two component side lengths.
