In the visual model of (a-b)^2, what total rectangular area is subtracted from a^2?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2ab

The direct answer is C: 2ab. Start with a large square of side a, whose area is a^2. To reduce each side from a to a-b, remove one strip of width b and length a along one direction, and another strip of width b and length a along the other direction. Each strip has area ab, so the total rectangular area removed is ab+ab=2ab. The small b by b corner is removed twice in that description, so it must be added back once; this gives a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2. A counts only one strip and misses the second. B is the small corner, not the total rectangular subtraction; it is added back. C correctly counts both strips. D is the entire original square, not the removed part. Memory cue: the negative middle term -2ab represents two removed cross-strips, while +b^2 repairs the overlap.
