A visual model has area y²−8y+16. From which square side is it formed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: y−4

The correct answer is B: y−4. Recognize the perfect-square pattern p²−2pq+q² = (p−q)². In the expression y²−8y+16, the first term is y², the last term is 16=4², and the middle term is −8y = −2×y×4. Therefore y²−8y+16 = (y−4)². A square with side y−4 has exactly this area. Option A gives (y+4)² = y²+8y+16, so its middle term has the opposite sign. Option C gives (y−8)² = y²−16y+64, which has incorrect middle and constant terms. Option D gives a leading term 16y² when squared, so it cannot match. Memory cue: a negative middle term in a perfect square means the side uses a minus sign.
