The area of a rectangle with dimensions \(a+b\) and \(a-b\) is linked with which identity?

Answer and explanation

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

The correct answer is D, \(a^2-b^2\). The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by breadth, so here it is \((a+b)(a-b)\). Expand carefully: \(a(a-b)+b(a-b)=a^2-ab+ab-b^2\). The middle terms \(-ab\) and \(+ab\) cancel, leaving \(a^2-b^2\). Option A is the square-of-a-sum result, \((a+b)^2\), not a product of a sum and a difference. Option B is the square-of-a-difference result, \((a-b)^2\). Option C, \(2a+2b\), is related to a perimeter expression in a different setting, not the area of this rectangle. A useful memory cue is “sum times difference gives difference of squares”: \((a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\).
