If \(15^2-5^2\) is represented as a rectangle using the difference-of-squares identity, what is its area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(200\)

The correct answer is C: \(200\). Use the difference-of-squares identity \(A^2-B^2=(A+B)(A-B)\). Here \(A=15\) and \(B=5\), so \(15^2-5^2=(15+5)(15-5)=20 imes10=200\). In the rectangle model, the two side lengths are therefore 20 and 10, and their product is the area, 200 square units. Option A is incorrect because it does not equal the given expression. Option B is not obtained from either factor or direct subtraction. Option C correctly uses both the sum and the difference factors. Option D also has no valid step leading from the expression. One may check directly: \(15^2=225\), \(5^2=25\), and \(225-25=200\). Memory cue: difference of squares means add for one side and subtract for the other.
