If a diagram removes two strips of \(4x\) from an \(x^2\) square and adds back \(16\), which square is formed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((x-4)^2\)

Correct answer: B. Start with the square of area x². Removing two strips, each with area 4x, removes 8x altogether. Adding the corner square of area 16 gives x²−8x+16. Now use the identity (a−b)²=a²−2ab+b². Taking a=x and b=4 gives (x−4)²=x²−2(x)(4)+4²=x²−8x+16. Thus the completed figure is a square with side x−4. Option A would expand to x²+8x+16, requiring addition rather than removal of the strips. Option C omits the two strip terms, and option D has the wrong degree and does not describe completing a square. Memory cue: remove two 4x strips and add 4² means subtract 8x and complete (x−4)².
