If a small square is removed in the visual model of (x^2 - 9), what is the side of the small square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3

The correct answer is B: 3. In the visual model of x^2 - 9, the large square has area x^2 and the removed small square has area 9. The side of a square is the positive square root of its area, because area = side × side = side^2. Since 9 = 3^2, the side of the removed square is √9 = 3. Option A, 9, is the area of the small square, not its side. Option B is correct because 3 × 3 = 9. Option C, x - 3, is a possible length used after rearranging a difference-of-squares model, but it is not the side of the removed square whose area is 9. Option D, x + 3, is the other factor in x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3), not the side of the removed square. Memory cue: when an area is given for a square, take its square root to find the side.
