Using an identity, what is the area of a square with side (8−1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 49

The direct answer is D: 49. The area of any square is side × side, so here it is (8−1)². Use the identity (a−b)² = a²−2ab+b² with a=8 and b=1: (8−1)² = 8²−2(8)(1)+1² = 64−16+1 = 49. We can also check directly: 8−1=7 and 7²=49. A, 48, is not the square of the side and does not result from the identity. B, 63, may arise from an incomplete subtraction but is not the area. C, 64, is only 8²; it ignores that 1 was subtracted from the side. D is correct because it includes the square of the first term, the negative middle term, and the square of the second term. Memory cue: in (a−b)², the middle term is −2ab and the last term remains positive.
