Each side of a square is divided into parts x and y. The four regions have areas x², xy, xy, and y². Which identity does this represent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Since each side is divided into lengths x and y, the complete side of the large square is x + y. Its total area is therefore (x + y)². The four regions have areas x², xy, xy, and y²; adding them gives x² + xy + xy + y² = x² + 2xy + y². Thus (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y². Option B has a negative middle term and would require subtractive regions or a side x − y. Option C is the difference-of-squares identity and describes a different arrangement. Option D incorrectly removes the two xy regions; in fact, x² + y² is smaller than (x + y)² by 2xy for positive lengths. Memory cue: two equal positive cross-rectangles create the +2xy term.
