Answer:
Third answer (she is incorrect because she should have squared each leg length and then found the sum.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem states that a²+b²=c². This is not equivalent to (a+b)²=c² (due to FOIL expansion, this expands to a²+2ab+b²=c²).
This matches with the third answer, as she has to do a² and b≥ separately.

In order to determine the expression that should be multiplied to n^2 to get 5n^3, divide 5n^3 by n^2. First for the numerical coefficient, 5 divide 1 is 5. For the variable n, n^3/n^2 is n. Thus, the term that should be multiplied to n^2 is 5n.
