In a square with side (a + 2b), what is the total area of the two rectangular regions involving a and b?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4ab

Direct answer: Option B, 4ab, is correct. Divide each side of the square into parts a and 2b. The two mixed rectangular regions have dimensions a by 2b. Therefore each one has area a × 2b = 2ab. Since there are two such rectangles, their combined area is 2ab + 2ab = 4ab. This is also the mixed term in the expansion (a + 2b)² = a² + 4ab + 4b². Option A counts only one rectangle and misses its equal partner. Option C is the area of the square whose side is 2b, not a mixed rectangle. Option D adds the two square regions a² and 4b² and excludes the rectangles. Memory cue: the cross term is always twice the product of the two side parts: 2 × a × 2b = 4ab.
