A diagram shows a big square of area b² and a small square of area c² removed from it. The remaining area equals a rectangle made by which side lengths?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b+c and b−c

The correct answer is A: the rectangle has side lengths b+c and b−c. The large square has area b², and the removed square has area c². Therefore the remaining area is b²−c². The difference-of-squares identity says b²−c²=(b+c)(b−c). Thus the remaining pieces can be rearranged to form a rectangle with one side b+c and the other side b−c. Multiplying confirms it: (b+c)(b−c)=b²−bc+bc−c²=b²−c². Option B gives area bc, not the required difference. Option C gives c(b+c), and option D gives c(b−c); neither equals the stated remaining area in general. Memory cue: a²−b² factors as (a+b)(a−b), not as a single sum or difference.
