Basically each side of the triangle represents a square on each which then makes the hypotenuse the largest square. Now, the area of a square is formulated by (1 side)² . Pythagorean theorem says that the area of the largest square is the sum of the 2 smaller square which is why the formula is a² + b² = c².
Answer:
here you go..............
The answer is 7/5 th. You can add fractions without first having a common denominator so you would change the 8's by multiplying it by 5 to get 40 and you would multiply the 5 by 8 to get 40 as well. And the rule whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top so whatever you multiplied 8 by do the same for the numerator and whatever you multiplied 5 by you do the same for the numerator. So your new equation would be (75/40+16/40)+(-35/40). you would then add the numerator's across to get 56 and the denominator would stay the same so the answer is 56/40. But you have to now simplify 56/40 down to 14/10 and then once more to 7/5 which is the final answer.
