A square model has regions x², kx, kx, and 36. If its side is (x + 6), what is k?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6

Direct answer: Option C, 6, is correct. A square with side x + 6 has area (x + 6)² = x² + 12x + 36. The visual model contains two equal middle rectangles, each labelled kx, so together they contribute 2kx. Comparing the middle terms gives 2kx = 12x. For x not treated as the zero variable in the coefficient comparison, 2k = 12, so k = 6. Option A is 12, the total coefficient of both middle rectangles, not the coefficient of one rectangle. Option B is 36, the area of the small corner square, and option D is not supported by the expansion. The important distinction is between each strip, kx, and the pair of strips, 2kx. A quick check is x² + 6x + 6x + 36 = x² + 12x + 36.
