Reading a rectangle with sides 2x + 3 and 2x − 3 as a difference of squares, what is its area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x² − 9

The direct answer is B: 4x²−9. The rectangle area is the product of its side lengths: (2x+3)(2x−3). This has the form (a+b)(a−b), where a=2x and b=3. By the difference-of-squares identity, (a+b)(a−b)=a²−b². Therefore the area is (2x)²−3²=4x²−9. Option A adds the squares instead of subtracting them. Option C uses an incorrect coefficient for the leading term. Option D is the expansion of neither the given product nor the square of a relevant binomial; it introduces an unnecessary −6x term. The opposite signs in the two side lengths make the cross-products cancel: −6x+6x=0. Memory cue: conjugate factors, such as (a+b) and (a−b), always produce a²−b² with no middle term.
