We have

so this is indeed a difference of squares. Factorizing would give

making the answer D.
We can further factor the first term here and write

but that's clearly out of the scope of this question.
Answer:
13.1 (3sf)
Step-by-step explanation:
14 ^2 - 5^2 = 171
root 171 = 13.1 (3sf)
Answer:
x = 75 m
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem of similar triangles solved using proportions.
In similar triangles, corresponding side lengths are proportional.
Here the small and large triangles are similar because the have all three angles congruent.
By proportions, identifying corresponding sides,
x/45 = 50/30
solve for x
x = 45*(50/30) = 75 m
Modular arithmetic is all about finding the remainder from long division (MOD), and the total number of times that a number goes into a division (DIV<span>).</span>
