Answer: hypotenuse = c^{2} + b^{2}

Step-by-step explanation: Pythagorean theorem states that square of hypotenuse (h) equals the sum of squares of each side (s_{1},s_{2}) of the right triangle, .i.e.:

h^{2} = s_{1}^{2} + s_{2}^{2}

In this question:

s_{1} = c^{2}-b^{2}

s_{2} = 2bc

Substituing and taking square root to find hypotenuse:

h=\sqrt{(c^{2}-b^{2})^{2}+(2bc)^{2}}

Calculating:

h=\sqrt{c^{4}+b^{4}-2b^{2}c^{2}+(4b^{2}c^{2})}

h=\sqrt{c^{4}+b^{4}+2b^{2}c^{2}}

c^{4}+b^{4}+2b^{2}c^{2} = (c^{2}+b^{2})^{2}, then:

h=\sqrt{(c^{2}+b^{2})^{2}}

h=(c^{2}+b^{2})

Hypotenuse for the right-angled triangle is h=(c^{2}+b^{2}) units

Show that: (p¼- q¼)(p¼ + q¼)(√P+√q)= p-q.​
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let p¼ = a, q¼ = b

L.H.S. = (a - b)(a + b)(a² + b²) = (a² - b²)(a² + b²) = (a²)² - (b²)² = p - q = R.H.S.
