• Expand (2a + b)²:
(2a + b)²
= (2a + b) · (2a + b)
Multiply out the brackets by applying the distributive property of multiplication:
= (2a + b) · 2a + (2a + b) · b
= 2a · 2a + b · 2a + 2a · b + b · b
= 2²a² + 2ab + 2ab + b²
Now, group like terms together, and you get
= 2²a² + 4ab + b²
= 4a² + 4ab + b² <——— expanded form (this is the answer).
I hope this helps. =)

Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar because the angles marked 125 are equal and the sides either side of these angle are in the same ratio:
1.3 / 2.5 = 2.6 /5.
If we are given the length of AE we would find CF from the equation:
1.3 / 2.5 = CF / AE
CF = (1.3 * AE) / 2.5.
