A model shows the difference between the areas of ((a+b)²) and ((a-b)²). What will this difference equal?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (4ab)

The direct answer is option B: 4ab. Expand both square areas carefully: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², while (a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b². Subtract the second from the first: (a² + 2ab + b²) − (a² − 2ab + b²). The a² terms cancel and the b² terms cancel. The remaining terms are 2ab + 2ab = 4ab. Thus the visual difference between the two square areas is 4ab. Option A is only one cross-term, not the difference of both cross-terms. Option C is the sum of the square terms and does not result after subtraction. Option D is the difference a²−b², which comes from (a+b)(a−b), not from subtracting these two squares. Memory cue: the middle terms change from +2ab to −2ab, so their separation is 4ab.
