The area model represents the product

(

)

Start by finding the partial products. In other words, multiply 2 by each term of the binomial

In the model, each of the smaller rectangles represents one of the partial products. The rectangle on the left represents the partial product

Similarly, the rectangle on the right represents the partial product

Now, add the partial products to find the product
