If 11^2-1^2 is changed into a rectangle, what will be the area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 120

The correct answer is C: 120 square units. The expression is a difference of two squares, so use A^2-B^2=(A+B)(A-B). With A=11 and B=1, we obtain 11^2-1^2=(11+1)(11-1)=12×10=120. This identity explains the rectangle interpretation: the original difference of square areas can be rearranged into a rectangle whose side lengths are the sum and difference of the original side lengths. Direct calculation confirms the result: 11^2=121, 1^2=1, and 121-1=120. Option A, 100, would be 10×10 and ignores the factor 12. Option B, 110, is neither the subtraction result nor the product 12×10. Option D, 121, is only 11^2 and forgets to subtract 1^2. Thus C is supported both by the identity and by ordinary calculation. Memory cue: for a difference of squares, multiply the sum by the difference; do not subtract the bases before squaring.
