A large square has side \(a\), and a square of side \(b\) is removed from it. How is the remaining area expressed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(a^2-b^2\)

The correct answer is C, \(a^2-b^2\). The area of the large square is side times side, so it is \(a^2\). The removed square has side \(b\), so its area is \(b^2\). Remaining area means the original area minus the removed area: \(a^2-b^2\). Option A adds the two areas, which would describe the total of separate squares rather than the part left after removal. Option B, \(2ab\), is the area of two rectangles in some square identities, not the difference between these two square areas. Option D, \(a-b\), is a length, not an area; the remaining region’s area cannot be found by subtracting side lengths alone. The expression can also be factored as \(a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\), but the direct area description is \(a^2-b^2\). Memory cue: removed area is always subtracted from original area.
