In a visual model, the large square is 16y² and the small added square is 25. If two strips are subtracted, which area is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 16y² − 40y + 25

The direct answer is A: 16y² − 40y + 25. Recognise the first and last terms as squares: 16y² = (4y)² and 25 = 5². If the two strips are subtracted, the visual identity is (4y−5)². Expanding gives (4y−5)² = (4y)² − 2(4y)(5) + 5² = 16y² − 40y + 25. The middle term is negative because the strips are being removed, and its coefficient is 2 because there are two equal strips. Option B has the correct square terms but a positive middle term, which would represent adding strips. Option C incorrectly squares 4y as 4y² instead of 16y². Option D uses only one product contribution, so it gives −20y rather than −40y. Memory cue: in (A−B)², the middle term is −2AB.
