In the visual model of a square with side (a-b), which area is added to complete the a² square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2ab-b²

The correct answer is D: 2ab-b². Start with the square of side a, whose area is a². A square of side a-b has area (a-b)²=a²-2ab+b². Therefore, the amount missing from this smaller square to reach the full a² square is a²-(a²-2ab+b²)=2ab-b². Equivalently, the model contains two strips of area ab each, but their corner overlap of area b² must be counted only once, so the added region is ab+ab-b²=2ab-b². Option A includes only the overlap and is incomplete. Option B counts only one strip. Option C is not an area expression with the required structure and omits b. Memory cue: two strips contribute 2ab, then subtract their common b² overlap.
