    Draw a rectangle with its width and length each divided once.

    Label the rectangle's length with the first binomial, with one term corresponding to each half.

    top edge right 

    left edge top 


    interior top left empty 

    interior top right empty 

    left edge bottom


    interior bottom left empty

    interior bottom right empty 

    Do the same for the width and the second binomial.

    For each of the four portions of the rectangle, find the product of the term on its width and the term on its length.
