In a tile model for (x-4)^2, which areas are subtracted from the x^2 square and which area is added back?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Subtract 4x and 4x, then add 16

The direct answer is A. Begin with an x by x square of area x^2. To shorten both dimensions by 4, remove one strip of dimensions x by 4, area 4x, and another strip of dimensions 4 by x, also area 4x. The corner where the strips overlap is a 4 by 4 square of area 16. It was removed twice, so it must be added back once. The resulting area is x^2-4x-4x+16=x^2-8x+16=(x-4)^2. B uses incorrect areas and does not represent the two strips. C reverses the removal and addition. D removes the original square itself, which destroys the model. Memory cue: in a difference square, subtract two strips and add back their overlap once.
