Answer: a2 + 152 = 362
Step-by-step explanation:
4x^2-25= (2x)^2-5^2=(2x-5)(2x+5)
Used: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
Ok so to find which sides are congruent we need to know their lengths.
To find the length we need the distance formula between two point ->
√(X2-X1)∧2 +(Y2-Y1)∧2
Ok lets find the first side PQ
P(-1,3) Q(2,-1)
X1 Y1 X2 Y2
√(2-(-1)∧2 + (-1-3)∧2 = 5
Now PR
P (-1,3) R (5,3)
X1 Y1 X2 Y2
√(5-(-1))∧2 + (3-3)∧2) = 6
Now the last side QR
Q (2, -1) R (5,3)
X1 Y1 X2 Y2
√(5-2)∧2 + (3-(-1))∧2 = 5
From the above work we see that PQ and QR are congruent becuase they are equal PQ=QR
Also the opposite angles of these sides are congruent. Hope this helps :).
