Which shows 53^2 - 47^2 being evaluated using the difference of squares method?

A) 532 - 472 = 2809 - 2209 = 600
B) 532 - 472 = (53 + 47)(53 - 47) = (100)(6) = 600
C) 532 - 472 = (53 - 47)2 = 62 = 36
D) 532 - 472 = (2809 + 2209)(2809 - 2209) = 3,010,800

well it seems like its B because it said being "evaluated"

some.random.cool.kid · Answer

and B looks like its evaluating it.

anonymous · Answer

It's actually A.
53 to the 2nd power is 2809.
47 to the 2nd power is 2209.
2809 - 2209 = 600
A is the only correct answer.
