Which tile combination gives a visual proof that x² − 64 = (x − 8)(x + 8)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Remove an 8-by-8 square from an x-by-x square

The direct answer is D. Start with an x-by-x square, whose area is x². Remove a smaller 8-by-8 square, whose area is 64. The remaining area is therefore x²−64. By cutting and rearranging the remaining pieces, they form a rectangle whose sides are x−8 and x+8; hence the area is (x−8)(x+8). Option A adds two rectangles and would represent extra positive area rather than subtracting 64. Option B forms (x+8)², which contains x²+16x+64, not x²−64. Option C forms (x−8)², which contains x²−16x+64, also different. D correctly shows a difference of two squares: x²−8²=(x−8)(x+8). Memory cue: a large square minus a small square becomes a rectangle with ‘difference’ and ‘sum’ as its sides.
