If a visual model is made for (4a²−b²), what will be the sides of the rearranged rectangle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (2a−b) and (2a+b)

Direct answer: Option A, (2a−b) and (2a+b). Recognise a difference of squares: 4a²−b²=(2a)²−b². Using p²−q²=(p−q)(p+q), with p=2a and q=b, the factorisation is (2a−b)(2a+b). In a visual model, rearranging the positive and negative square tiles forms a rectangle with these two side lengths. Option A is correct, and multiplication verifies it: (2a−b)(2a+b)=4a²−b². Option B produces 16a²−b², so its first term is too large. Option C produces (2a−b)²=4a²−4ab+b², with an unwanted middle term and the wrong sign of b². Option D produces a²−b², missing the factor 4 in 4a². Memory cue: first rewrite 4a² as (2a)² before applying the difference-of-squares identity.
