In a square of side (a+b), the strip involving (b) is shaded. If the total shaded part is (2ab+b^2), what is the unshaded part?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a^2) / remaining main square
From the total area ((a+b)^2), removing the shaded (2ab+b^2) leaves (a^2). In exams shaded and unshaded parts add to the whole square.
