A rectangle model shows 2x² + 9x + 10. Which sides are correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2x + 5 and x + 2

The correct sides are 2x + 5 and x + 2. Multiply the proposed factors: (2x + 5)(x + 2). The four partial products are 2x·x = 2x², 2x·2 = 4x, 5·x = 5x, and 5·2 = 10. Adding the middle terms gives 4x + 5x = 9x, so the product is 2x² + 9x + 10, exactly the stated rectangle area. Option B produces 2x² + 21x + 10, not the target. Option C produces x² + 9x + 20, so even its first and last terms are wrong. Option D produces 2x² + 12x + 10, whose middle term is 12x. A useful check for factor pairs is to verify the leading term, the constant term, and then the sum of the cross-products. All three checks must agree before accepting the sides.
