In the area model for (5t-2)^2, what is the total area represented by the two subtracted strips?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 20t

Correct answer: B, 20t. Think of the side 5t-2 as a long length 5t with a part of length 2 removed. In the square model, the removed part creates two identical rectangular strips. Each strip has dimensions 5t and 2, so each has area (5t)(2)=10t. Because there are two such strips, their combined area is 10t+10t=20t. This agrees with the identity (5t-2)^2=(5t)^2-2(5t)(2)+2^2=25t^2-20t+4. Option A is only the area of one strip. Option C is the large positive square (5t)^2, not the subtracted strips. Option D is the small corner square 2^2. Memory cue: in (p-q)^2, the two side strips together give 2pq and are subtracted.
