Which tile group represents (2a-5)^2?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4a^2, -10a, -10a, and 25

The direct answer is A. Use (p-q)^2=p^2-2pq+q^2 with p=2a and q=5. The large square contributes p^2=(2a)^2=4a^2. Each of the two mixed rectangular tiles has signed area -pq=-(2a)(5)=-10a, so together they contribute -20a. The small corner square contributes q^2=25. Therefore the tile group is 4a^2, -10a, -10a, and 25, and option A is correct. Option B has positive middle tiles, which would represent (2a+5)^2 and produce +20a. Option C incorrectly squares 2a as 2a^2 instead of 4a^2 and also uses the wrong mixed-term size. Option D combines the two -10a rectangles into one -20a entry; although its total expression is numerically equivalent, it is not the requested group of separate tiles. Memory cue: for (p-q)^2, the two mixed tiles are negative, while the two square tiles remain positive.
