In the visual model of the identity (a+b)², how is the larger square divided?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A square of side a+b containing one a² square, one b² square, and two ab rectangles
The large square has side a+b. Its area is a²+ab+ab+b² = a²+2ab+b², so two ab rectangles are essential. In exams, identify the two cross-shaped rectangles.
