A rectangle has sides x+6 and x−6. What is its area in the visual model?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x²−36

The direct answer is option D: x²−36. The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by breadth, so here it is (x+6)(x−6). This is a product of a sum and a difference. Using (a+b)(a−b)=a²−b² with a=x and b=6 gives x²−6²=x²−36. In a visual model, the x by x square has area x², while the two side portions removed or rearranged together have total area 36; the x terms cancel because one contribution is positive and the other is negative. Option A, x²+36, has the wrong sign and would correspond to adding the square parts rather than taking their difference. Option B is (x−6)², the square of a difference, not this rectangle. Option C is (x+6)², the square of a sum. A common confusion is to see two brackets and automatically use a square identity; first check whether the signs are opposite.
