Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. what is 4^2?
step 2. 16.
1. sqrt 52 = 7.211 rounds to 7
2. irrational number
3. sqrt 441 = 21....rational
4. 12^2 + 3^2 = h^2
144 + 9 = h^2
153 = h^2
sqrt 153 = h
12.4 = h <===
5. 6^2 + b^2 = 18^2
36 + b^2 = 324
b^2 = 324 - 36
b^2 = 288
b = sqrt 288
b = 16.97 rounds to 17 <==
6. 39^2 + 52^2 = c^2
1521 + 2704 = c^2
4225 = c^2
sqrt 4225 = c
65 = c
(39 + 52) - 65 = 91 - 65 = 26 miles shorter <==
7. 4^2 + b^2 = 16^2
16 + b^2 = 256
b^2 = 256 - 16
b^2 = 240
b = sqrt 240
b = 15.49 rounds to 15.5 <==
8. ?
The method of successive differences uses subtraction to the one number to the next and the process goes on until the difference settles constant which is not equal to zero. In this case, the constant difference reaches 25. Reversing the process to get the next term, the answer is 2509.
