In a rectangle model, (r+11) and (r−11) are placed together. Which linear parts cancel visually?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 11r and −11r

The direct answer is B: 11r and −11r. Multiply the two conjugate expressions using a rectangle model: (r+11)(r−11). The four signed regions are r², −11r, 11r, and −121, depending on which side parts are paired. The two linear regions have equal magnitude, 11r, but opposite signs, so they cancel: 11r + (−11r) = 0. The remaining area is r² − 121, which is the difference-of-squares identity. Option A names two positive regions, so they would add rather than cancel. Option C pairs the square term with the constant term; those are not like terms and are not the visual cancellation being asked about. Option D contains opposite constant regions, but the model has only one constant product, −121, not a positive and negative pair. Remember: cancellation requires equal size and opposite signs.
