A visual model must rearrange x^2 - 49 into a rectangle. Which cut is most useful?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Remove a square of side 7

The correct answer is A: remove a square with side 7. The expression x^2 - 49 can be written as x^2 - 7^2 because 49 = 7^2. In an area model, x^2 represents a large square whose side is x, while 49 represents a smaller square with side 7. Removing that smaller square leaves the difference of two square areas, which can be cut and rearranged into a rectangle. This is the visual meaning of the identity x^2 - 7^2 = (x - 7)(x + 7). Option B is wrong because a square with side 49 has area 49^2, not 49. Option C has area (x + 7)^2 and is not the required constant piece. Option D adds an area and changes subtraction into a different expression. Memory cue: when a constant is subtracted from a square term, first write the constant as a square; here 49 becomes 7^2.
