If in the model of (x−6)², two rectangles are removed from x² and a small square is added back, what is the added-back area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 36

Direct answer: Option C, 36, is correct. Begin with the x by x square, whose area is x². Removing two strips of width 6 removes areas 6x and 6x. Their corner overlaps in a 6 by 6 square, so that corner has been removed twice and must be added back once. The added-back area is 6×6=36. This produces x²−6x−6x+36=x²−12x+36=(x−6)². Option A gives only the side of the small square, not its area. Option B is twice the side and corresponds to the coefficient in the middle term, not the corner area. Option D is the area of one variable rectangle, not the constant square. The common confusion is to use 6 or 12 instead of squaring the side 6.
