If \(18^2\) is seen using the model \((20-2)^2\), which term will be subtracted?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(2\times20\times2\)

The direct answer is A: \(2\times20\times2\). Use the difference-square identity \((a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\). For \((20-2)^2\), take \(a=20\) and \(b=2\). The expansion is \(20^2-2\times20\times2+2^2\). Therefore the mixed middle term, \(2ab=2\times20\times2=80\), is the term subtracted. Option A is correct. Option B, \(20^2\), is the first large square and is added. Option C, \(2^2\), is the small square and is also added. Option D is the final square being calculated, not a component that is subtracted. The numerical check is \(400-80+4=324=18^2\). Memory cue: for \((a-b)^2\), only the middle mixed term carries the minus sign; the two square terms remain positive.
