What is the area of a rectangle with sides (h + 6) and (h - 6)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: h^2 - 36

The correct answer is A: h^2 - 36. The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by breadth, so the required expression is (h + 6)(h - 6). These are conjugate binomials: the first terms are the same and the second terms have opposite signs. Therefore we use (a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2. Taking a = h and b = 6 gives h^2 - 6^2 = h^2 - 36. Option A follows directly. Option B has the wrong sign; this product is a difference of squares, not a sum. Option C is the expansion of (h - 6)^2, which is a different expression because both factors would then have minus signs. Option D is the expansion of (h + 6)^2, also a different product. Expanding directly confirms the result: h^2 - 6h + 6h - 36 = h^2 - 36. Memory cue: matching binomials with opposite signs cancel their middle terms.
