First, we expand the equation:

$cos^{2}A+2cosAcosB+ cos^{2}B+sin^{2}A+2sinAsinB+sin^{2}B$

Then, we combine certain terms in order to simplify them using trigonometry identities.

$cos^{2}A+sin^{2}A+cos^{2}B+sin^{2}B+2cosAcosB+2sinAsinB$

Note these identities:
Pythagoran relation: $cos^{2}A+sin^{2}A = cos^{2}B+sin^{2}B=1$
Sum and Difference Formula/Identities: $cos(A-B) = cosAcosB+sinAsinB$

Thus, if we apply these identities, the simplified equation would be:
$2(cos(A-B))+2$

Simplying further, the answer would be

$2[cos(A-B)+1]$

I'm not sure what D says but if it is 196000 cm then that is the answer.

When three squares are joined at their vertices to form a right triangle, the combined area of two smaller squares is the same a

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Pythagora's Theorem</u>

The area of a square of side length x is

$A = x^2$

We have three squares, two of which have side lengths of a=5 cm and b= 13 cm.

The combined area of the smaller squares is the same as the area of the largest square. We cannot say at first sight which square is the largest, we'll assume the square of side length of 13 cm is the largest one. Thus:

$5^2+b^2=13^2$
