(A+B)2

1. Take a square and divide it into two different parts vertically. The lengths of
them are a and b respectively.

2. Similarly, divide the square horizontally with same lengths. So, the widths of
them are also a and b respectively.

3. The length and width of the square are same and the length of its each side
is a+b. Therefore, the area of the square is (a+b)×(a+b) = (a+b)2 geometrically.

(A-B)2
1. Draw a straight line vertically across the pair of opposite sides for dividing the
square as two rectangles. If the length of one rectangle is denoted by b, then the
length of remaining rectangle will be a−b.
2. Divide the both rectangles horizontally by drawing a straight line such that the
width of two shapes are equal to b, then the widths of remaining two shapes are
equal to a−b. It is useful for creating a square, whose area is equal to a−b whole
square.

(A2-B2)
1. Take a square, whose length of each side is a unit. Therefore, the area of
the square is a2.
2. Draw a small square with the side of b units at any corner of the square.
So, the area of small square is b2.
3. Now, subtract the square, whose area is b2 from the square, whose area
is a2. It forms a new geometric shape, and its area is equal to a2−b2.

It may seem confusing at first,


But It gets interesting and easy to remember.
