Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Yikes. This is quite a doozy, so pay attention. We will begin by factoring by grouping. Group the first 2 terms together into a set of parenthesis, and likewise with the last 2 terms:
and factor out what's common in each set of parenthesis:
. Now you can what's common is the (d + 3), so factor that out now:
BUT in that second set of parenthesis, we can still find things common in both terms, so we continue to factor that set of parenthesis, carrying with us the (d + 3):
BUT that second set of parenthesis is the difference of perfect squares, so we continue factoring, carrying with us all the other stuff we have already factored:
. That's completely factored, but it's not completely simplified. Notice we have 2 terms that are identical: (d + 3):
is the completely factored and simplified answer, choice 3)
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
-A and B are legs of the triangle
-C is the hypotenuse
#1.
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
36 + 64 = c^2
100 = c^2
c = 10
#2.
5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
25 + 144 = c^2
169 = c^2
c = 13
#4.
10^2 + 4^2 = c^2
100 + 16 = c^2
116 = c^2
c =
#5.
15^2 + 9^2 = c^2
225 + 81 = c^2
306 = c^2
c =
#6.
120^2 + b^2 = 150^2
14400 + b^2 = 22500
b^2 = 8100
b = 90
#7.
144^2 + b^2 = 194^2
20736 + b^2 = 37636
b^2 = 16900
b = 130
Hope this helps!! :)
