Which expansion is given by the area model of a square with side (k-4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: k²-8k+16

The correct answer is C: k²-8k+16. The square’s area is (k-4)². Use (a-b)²=a²-2ab+b² with a=k and b=4. The large square contributes k². Two rectangular strips, each of area 4k, are removed, giving -4k-4k=-8k. The corner square of side 4 is counted back with area 4²=16. Thus the total is k²-8k+16. Option A has only -4k and forgets that there are two strips. Option B uses a plus sign, which belongs to (k+4)². Option D is the difference-of-squares expression k²-16, not the square of a difference; it omits the required middle term. Memory cue: (a-b)² has a negative middle term and a positive final square.
