If \((a+4)(a-4)\) is represented by a rectangle area model, what is the result?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(a^2-16\)

The correct answer is C: \(a^2-16\). The rectangle has side lengths \(a+4\) and \(a-4\). Using the area model, multiply each part: \(a\cdot a=a^2\), \(a\cdot(-4)=-4a\), \(4
ot
eed oa=4a\), and \(4
ot
eed o(-4)=-16\). The middle terms cancel because \(-4a+4a=0\), leaving \(a^2-16\). This is also the identity \((p+q)(p-q)=p^2-q^2\). A is the expansion of \((a+4)^2\), while B is the expansion of \((a-4)^2\). D has the wrong sign for the constant term; the product of 4 and -4 is negative. Memory cue: conjugate factors cancel the middle terms and leave a difference of squares.
