If (x+4)(x−4) is viewed through a rectangle model, what will the area be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² − 16

The direct answer is C: x²−16. The rectangle has side lengths x+4 and x−4, so its area is their product. Apply the identity (a+b)(a−b)=a²−b² with a=x and b=4: (x+4)(x−4)=x²−4²=x²−16. Expanding confirms this: x·x + x(−4) + 4x + 4(−4) = x²−4x+4x−16 = x²−16. The middle terms cancel because they are opposites. A, x²+16, incorrectly adds the two squares instead of subtracting them. B is the expansion of (x−4)², not a product of conjugate factors. D is the expansion of (x+4)², not the given product. Therefore the rectangle area is C. Memory cue: same first term with opposite second terms means difference of squares.
