In Class 9 Mathematics, under the chapter Exploring Algebraic Identities, students use geometric diagrams and area-based representations to understand algebraic identities visually. They relate squares and rectangles formed from algebraic expressions to expansions such as binomial products, helping them see why both sides of an identity are equal rather than merely memorising formulas.

Question 1MediumLevel 68
In a visual model where the side of a square is divided into two parts, a and b, what is the area of each of the two equal rectangles formed?
Correct answer: A
When a square of side \(a+b\) is partitioned, each middle rectangle has length \(a\) and breadth \(b\). Therefore, its area is \(a\times b=ab\). The terms \(a^2\) and \(b^2\) represent the areas of the corner squares, not the rectangles. Exam tip: the two equal rectangles together have area \(2ab\).
Each side of a square is divided into two parts of lengths x and y. The four regions formed have areas x², xy, xy, and y². Which algebraic identity does this visual represent?
Correct answer: A
The full side of the square is \(x+y\), so its area is \((x+y)^2\). The sum of the four regions is \(x^2+xy+xy+y^2=x^2+2xy+y^2\). Hence, option A is correct. In option B, the middle term is \(-2xy\), which does not match the two positive \(xy\) regions in the diagram. Exam tip: combine the two equal \(xy\) rectangles to obtain \(2xy\).
The expression \(9x^2+30x+25\) has the pattern of a square identity. The first term is \(9x^2=(3x)^2\), and the last term is \(25=5^2\). For the square of a sum, the middle term must be twice the product of these two quantities: \(2\cdot3x\cdot5=30x\). This exactly matches the given middle term.
Therefore, the expression is \((3x+5)^2\), because expanding it gives \((3x+5)^2=9x^2+30x+25\). A side of \(9x+25\) would produce a different expansion, and \((3x-5)^2\) would have a negative middle term, namely \(-30x\). Hence the square model with side \(3x+5\), option A, is correct.
What area remains when a square of side (x) is removed from a square of side (x+6)?
Correct answer: A
The larger square has area \((x+6)^2\), and the smaller square has area \(x^2\). Thus, the remaining area is \((x+6)^2-x^2\). Expanding gives \(x^2+12x+36-x^2=12x+36\). In \(6x+36\), the middle term is incorrect because \(2\times x\times 6=12x\). Exam tip: you can also use \(a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\) for such questions.
This is a difference of squares and the area becomes (x(x+2y)). In exams rearrange the remaining part into a rectangle after removing the small square.
A rectangle model shows (2x^2+9x+10). Which sides are correct?
Correct answer: A
The area of a rectangle is the product of its side lengths. \((2x+5)(x+2)=2x^2+4x+5x+10=2x^2+9x+10\), so the correct sides are \((2x+5)\) and \((x+2)\). In option D, \((2x+10)(x+1)=2x^2+12x+10\), whose middle term is not \(9x\). Exam tip: to check factors, add the two cross-product \(x\)-terms.
What is the difference between the areas of squares with sides (x-1) and (x+1)?
Correct answer: B
The larger square has area \((x+1)^2\), and the smaller square has area \((x-1)^2\). Thus, the difference in their areas is \((x+1)^2-(x-1)^2\). On expanding, \((x^2+2x+1)-(x^2-2x+1)=4x\). The expression \(x^2-1\) is the product \((x-1)(x+1)\), not the difference of the two square areas. Exam tip: write the larger area first and subtract the smaller area.
