A square of side (q) is removed from a square of side (p), and the remaining part is rearranged into a rectangle. What are the sides of the new rectangle?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (p-q) and (p+q)
The removed-square model gives (p^2-q^2=(p-q)(p+q)). Exam tip: connect difference of squares with rectangle area.
