Which model correctly shows (4a^2-12a+9) as a perfect square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A square of side (2a-3)

The direct answer is option C: a square with side (2a−3). Use the identity (p−q)^2=p^2−2pq+q^2. Taking p=2a and q=3 gives (2a−3)^2=(2a)^2−2(2a)(3)+3^2=4a^2−12a+9, exactly the given expression. Option A gives (2a+3)^2=4a^2+12a+9, so its middle term has the wrong sign. Option B gives 16a^2−72a+81; its first and last terms do not match. Option C matches the first term, middle term, and constant term. Option D gives 16a^2+24a+9, so both the leading and middle terms are wrong. In a visual model, the negative middle term means the strips are subtracted rather than added. Memory cue: take square roots of the first and last terms, then use the middle-term sign.
