A square has side m − 3. After removing two strips from the large m² square and adding the corner back, which area is obtained?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: m² − 6m + 9

The correct answer is D. Start with the large square of side m and area m². Because the required side is m − 3, one strip of dimensions m by 3 is removed horizontally and another strip of dimensions m by 3 is removed vertically. Their total removed area is 3m + 3m = 6m. The small 3 by 3 corner has been removed twice, so it must be added back once; its area is 9. Thus the final area is m² − 6m + 9, which is also the identity (m − 3)². Option A subtracts only 3m and misses one strip. Option B uses the signs for a sum rather than a difference. Option C has incorrect coefficients and does not result from the two equal strips. Memory cue: for (u − v)², use u² − 2uv + v²; the final corner is added back.
