If the areas of squares with sides (a+b) and (a−b) are subtracted, which area is obtained visually?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4ab

The direct answer is B: 4ab. The area of the larger square is (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b². The area of the other square is (a−b)²=a²−2ab+b². Subtracting the second from the first gives (a²+2ab+b²)−(a²−2ab+b²). The a² terms cancel, the b² terms cancel, and the two middle contributions add: 2ab−(−2ab)=4ab. Thus the remaining visual area is 4ab. A, 2ab, is only the middle term from one square, not the difference of both areas. C is the sum of the square terms and does not result after cancellation. D is the difference-of-squares factorisation result for (a+b)(a−b), a different expression. Memory cue: subtracting the two square expansions doubles the opposite middle terms, giving four ab.
