Why is (n-1)(n+1)=n^2-1?

(n - 1)(n + 1)
n^2 - n + n - 1
So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.
Have you ever been instructed/forced to crossdress for the benefit of others?
Move the nub up to the top:
The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:
xxx x
xxxx
If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2
And you are left with almost a square. One less than the square of side n.
What would you do if you found out that someone had broken into your home while you were sleeping?

The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2
