What area is shown by the visual model of a rectangle with sides (p+4) and (p−4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: p²−16

The correct answer is C: p²−16. The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by breadth, so the required area is (p+4)(p−4). This is the difference-of-squares pattern (x+y)(x−y)=x²−y². Taking x=p and y=4 gives p²−4²=p²−16. If we multiply directly, p·p=p², p·(−4)=−4p, 4·p=4p, and 4·(−4)=−16. The two middle terms cancel: −4p+4p=0. Option A has the wrong sign for the constant term. Option B is the expansion of (p+4)², not a product of a sum and a difference. Option D is the expansion of (p−4)², so it has an unnecessary negative middle term. Memory cue: equal numbers added and subtracted give a difference of squares, and the middle terms disappear.
