If a+b=13 and a-b=5, what is the area of the rectangle model of a^2-b^2?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 65

The direct answer is B: 65. The difference-of-squares identity is a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b). The rectangle model has one side a+b and the other side a-b, so its area is the product of these two given lengths. Substitute the values: (13)(5)=65. There is no need to solve separately for a and b. A, 18, is the sum 13+5 and is not the product required by the rectangle area. C, 169, is 13^2 and ignores the second factor. D, 25, is 5^2 and ignores the first factor. The condition that the model is a rectangle reinforces multiplication of the two side expressions. Memory cue: conjugate factors (a+b) and (a-b) multiply to a^2-b^2 because the two middle products cancel.
