A rectangle has length (a+b) and breadth (a−b). Its area matches which algebraic identity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a²−b²

The direct answer is D. The area of the rectangle is length × breadth = (a+b)(a−b). Apply the identity (u+v)(u−v)=u²−v² with u=a and v=b. The result is a²−b². Option A is the expansion of (a+b)², which would require both sides to be a+b. Option B is the expansion of (a−b)², which would require both sides to be a−b. Option C leaves out the interaction of the two factors and is not generally equal to their product. Option D is correct because the positive and negative mixed terms cancel: a²−ab+ab−b² = a²−b². Memory cue: opposite signs in matching brackets cause the middle terms to cancel.
