Using the FOIL method -
Firsts: a×a= a^2
Outers: a×-b= -ab
Inners: b×a= ab
Lasts: b×-b= -b^2

Combine -
a^2-ab+ab-b^2
= a^2-b^2

This particular pair of binomial brackets with a + and a - in them can be expanded with the difference of two squares:
(a+b)(a-b) = a^2-b^2
This works for binomial brackets with a + and a - in each of them, and where the two terms in each bracket are the sameFor example:
(x+5)(x-5)= x^2-25
So remember,

FOIL stands for Front Outter Inner Last

F- multiply the first two terms axa= a^2
O- multiply the two terms on the outside a x -b= -ab
I- multiply the two inner (middle) terms - b x a= ab
L- multiply the last variable in each term= b^2


A shortcut without using FOIL is called the difference of squares and can be rewrote as (a^2-b^2)

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

1) Isosceles

2) Scalene

3) Scalene

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1st choice is isosceles because 2 side lengths are equal.

The 2nd and 3rd choice are scalene because none of the sides equal the other sides.
