A square has side (a-b). How can its area be written?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a²-2ab+b²

The correct answer is A: a²-2ab+b². The area of a square equals side², so the required area is (a-b)². Apply the identity (u-v)²=u²-2uv+v² with u=a and v=b. The result is a²-2ab+b². In a visual interpretation, the negative middle term reflects removing two a-by-b rectangular strips from a larger a² square, with the b² corner accounted for in the complete expression. Option B is the expansion of (a+b)²; it has the wrong sign in the middle. Option C is the difference-of-squares identity (a-b)(a+b), not the square (a-b)². Option D has neither the correct middle coefficient nor the correct structure. A common warning is that the minus sign is squared through the binomial, but the middle term does not disappear: it is -2ab.
