If two squares have sides (x+k) and (x-k), what will the difference of their area models be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (4kx)

The direct answer is A: the difference is 4kx. Let the larger square area be (x+k)^2 and the smaller one be (x-k)^2. Expand them separately: (x+k)^2=x^2+2kx+k^2 and (x-k)^2=x^2-2kx+k^2. Subtract the second from the first. The equal x^2 terms cancel, and the equal k^2 terms also cancel. The remaining difference is 2kx-(-2kx)=4kx. In a visual model, the common x^2 region and common k^2 corner disappear in the comparison; the cross-strips produce the difference. Option A is correct. Option B notices only one cross contribution and misses the opposite signed term from the second square. Option C is the difference of the side lengths' product pattern, not the difference of these two areas. Option D adds the common square contributions instead of subtracting them. The identity (x+k)^2-(x-k)^2=4kx is a reliable memory check.
