If the a² − b² model is rearranged into a rectangle, what will the rectangle’s area remain equal to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a² − b²

The direct answer is option C: a² − b². Rearranging or cutting and repositioning pieces can change the shape of a figure, but it does not change the total area, provided no piece is lost or overlapped. The original model represents the area of a large square, a², minus the area of a smaller square, b². Therefore, its remaining area is a² − b². When the pieces are rearranged into a rectangle, the same area is also expressed through the identity a² − b² = (a − b)(a + b), but the question asks what the area remains equal to, so a² − b² is the direct answer. Option A adds the two square areas instead of subtracting. Option B is only the product of the two variables doubled and is not generally equal to the remaining area. Option D is a length expression, not an area. Memory cue: rearrangement changes shape, not area.
