This GeoGebra applet visually demonstrates the geometric meaning of the difference of squares formula, a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b), through area dissection and geometric transformations. By using polygon constructions, translations, and rotations, it transforms the difference in areas into a rectangular area, helping students deeply understand the essence of the algebraic formula from a geometric persp
