Which identity is modeled by drawing a rectangle with sides a + b and a − b?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a² − b²

The correct answer is B. The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by breadth. With side lengths a + b and a − b, its area is (a + b)(a − b). Multiplying or using the difference-of-squares identity gives (a + b)(a − b) = a² − b². Thus the rectangle visually represents a² − b². Option A is the square of a single binomial and would require both sides to be a + b. Option C would require both sides to be a − b. Option D incorrectly omits the product term and is not generally equal to the rectangle’s area. Memory cue: conjugate factors, plus and minus the same term, produce a difference of squares.
