Notice the tickmark on the angles, those angles are equal to each other.
now, notice the angle at the very top, the large triangle is really sharing it with smaller-inscribed triangle, and therefore is equal on both triangles.
therefore, the larger triangle, is similar with smaller-inscribed triangle by AA.
what the dickens does that mean?

Answer:
9c² -4p²
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of a sum and difference of the same two terms is the difference of their squares:
(3c +2p)(3c -2p) = 3c(3c -2p) +2p(3c -2p)
= (3c)² -6cp +6cp -(2p)²
= (3c)² -(2p)² = 9c² -4p²
Answer:
(gof)(-8) = 210
Step-by-step explanation:
(gof) = (-x + 8)² - 3(-x + 8) = 2
= x² - 16x + 64 + 3x - 24 + 2
= x² - 13x + 42
(gof)(-8) = (-8)² - 13(-8) + 42
= 64 + 104 + 42
= 210
