In a square with side (n+4), only n^2 and 16 are written. What total area is missing?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 8n / two strips

The direct answer is option B: 8n. A square with side n+4 has area (n+4)^2. Using (p+q)^2=p^2+2pq+q^2 with p=n and q=4 gives n^2+2(n)(4)+4^2=n^2+8n+16. The given n^2 is the large variable square and 16 is the constant corner square. The missing part consists of two equal rectangular strips, each with area n×4=4n. Together they have area 4n+4n=8n. Option A gives only one strip. Option B correctly includes both strips. Option C incorrectly multiplies 16 by n and does not represent either strip. Option D is a side length, not an area. Memory cue: the middle term 2n·4 counts two identical strips.
