Answer:

It's false.... correct is a2+2ab+b2

Step-by-step explanation:

This cannot be factored anymore although. when we try to substitute a with 5 and b with 2, the answer in the right hand side of the equation is -9.

That's why it's false.

Using diagonals from a common vertex, how many triangles could be formed from the polygon pictured below?

Ad libitum [116K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From a given vertex, two of the vertices are adjacent, so a "diagonal" to those will not form a triangle. The number of diagonals that can be drawn is 3 fewer than the number of sides. The number of triangles is 1 more than the number of diagonals.

For a 5-sided figure, 2 diagonals can be drawn from a common vertex.

3 triangles will be formed.
