When a square of area \(b^2\) is removed from a larger square of area \(a^2\), the remaining area is \(a^2-b^2\). Which product represents it?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((a+b)(a-b)\)

Correct answer: C, \((a+b)(a-b)\). The difference-of-squares identity is \(a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\). Visually, after the smaller \(b\times b\) square is removed from the \(a imes a\) square, the remaining L-shaped region can be cut and rearranged into a rectangle. The rearranged rectangle has one side \(a+b\) and the other side \(a-b\), so its area is \((a+b)(a-b)\). Option A adds the two square areas instead of subtracting one. Option B is only one length, not an area. Option C gives exactly the required product. Option D represents \((a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\), which is a different expression. Memory cue: difference of two squares becomes sum times difference.
