An (x+3) by (x+5) rectangle is compared with an (x+4) by (x+4) square. What is rectangle area minus square area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: −1; the rectangle is smaller by one

Correct answer: B. First find the rectangle area: (x+3)(x+5)=x²+5x+3x+15=x²+8x+15. Next find the square area: (x+4)²=x²+8x+16. The requested order is rectangle area minus square area, so subtract: (x²+8x+15)−(x²+8x+16)=−1. Thus the rectangle has area one square unit less than the square. Option A has the correct magnitude but reverses the comparison; it would be square area minus rectangle area. Option C incorrectly leaves an x term after terms that should cancel. Option D is not obtained from area subtraction and resembles an unrelated linear or perimeter expression. Always follow the stated order before deciding the sign.
