In a model, a square of side a + b + c is divided into three parts in both directions. What total area is related to ab?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2ab

Direct answer: Option B, 2ab, is correct. Divide each side of the large square into lengths a, b, and c. The rectangular pieces formed by the pair a and b occur twice: one has dimensions a by b, and the other has dimensions b by a. Each has area ab because rectangle area is length multiplied by breadth. Their combined area is ab + ab = 2ab. Option A counts only one rectangle and misses its matching rectangle in the opposite position. Option C incorrectly suggests that three such rectangles occur; the third subdivision involving c produces ac or bc terms, not another ab term. Option D describes two square areas, not the two ab rectangles. Memory cue: in (a + b + c)², every pair of different terms appears twice: 2ab, 2ac, and 2bc.
