In the area model of a square with side a+b, which area appears as two congruent rectangles?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(ab\)

When the square is divided into lengths a and b, two rectangles are formed, each with area ab. Thus, they contribute the middle term 2ab. The areas a² and b² belong to the corner squares. Exam tip: add the two equal rectangle areas carefully.
