In a rectangular area model, the length is x+y and the breadth is x-y, where x>y. Which algebraic identity does this model represent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x^2-y^2

The direct answer is C: x^2-y^2. The rectangle area is length times breadth, so it is (x+y)(x-y). Multiply each term: x·x=x^2, x·(-y)=-xy, y·x=xy, and y·(-y)=-y^2. The middle terms -xy and +xy cancel, leaving x^2-y^2. This is the difference-of-squares identity. A would be obtained only if both dimensions were x-y. B omits the effect of the cross-products and the negative y^2 term. D incorrectly keeps an extra 2xy and also has the wrong final sign. The condition x>y ensures x-y is positive, so the dimensions can represent a usual rectangle. Memory cue: conjugate binomials have opposite signs, so their middle terms cancel.
