If a rectangle has sides r + 8 and r − 8, what result is obtained?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: r² − 64

The correct answer is B. The rectangle’s area is (r + 8)(r − 8). This is the difference-of-squares pattern (u + v)(u − v) = u² − v², with u = r and v = 8. Therefore the area is r² − 8² = r² − 64. If expanded directly, the products are r² − 8r + 8r − 64; the two middle terms cancel, leaving r² − 64. Option A has the wrong sign before 64. Options C and D incorrectly retain a middle term of ±16r, but the two cross-products are opposites and cancel. The visual model shows two equal cross-regions with opposite signs, so no r term remains. Memory cue: conjugate binomials produce a difference of squares, not a sum.
