In a square of side a + b, the part involving b is shaded. If the total shaded area is 2ab + b², what is the unshaded part?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a²

The direct answer is D: the unshaded part is a². The whole square has side a+b, so its area is (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b². The shaded region is given as 2ab+b². Subtract it from the whole area: (a²+2ab+b²)−(2ab+b²)=a². This also matches the picture idea: the unshaded corner is a square whose side is a, so its area is a². A, 2ab, represents the two rectangular strips together, not the remaining square. B, ab, represents only one rectangle. C includes b², which is already part of the shaded region and therefore cannot be the unshaded remainder. Always remember that shaded area plus unshaded area must equal the complete square area. This check makes the answer unambiguous.
