The difference between squares of sides (2a+b) and (2a-b) equals which visual area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 8ab

The correct answer is B: 8ab. The required area is the difference between the two square areas: (2a+b)^2-(2a-b)^2. Use the identity (p+q)^2-(p-q)^2=4pq. Here p=2a and q=b, so the difference is 4(2a)(b)=8ab. You can also expand: (4a^2+4ab+b^2)-(4a^2-4ab+b^2)=8ab. Visually, the larger square contains the smaller square plus the remaining strips; together those strips have area 8ab. Option A, 4ab, results from forgetting that p is 2a rather than a, so it is half the required value. Option C is the difference of the two side quantities squared in another order and is not the requested result. Option D is only part of an expansion and omits the full cancellation process. Memory cue: (p+q)^2-(p-q)^2 always equals 4pq; substitute p=2a carefully.
