Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that A, B, and C constitute the vertices of a right angle triangle, with the right angle at the vertex A.
If we count the number of squares separating B and A (one of the legs of the right angle triangle) we find 8 units.
If we count the number of squares separating C from A (the other leg of the right angle triangle), we get: 3 units.
Then, we apply the Pythagorean theorem to find that length of the triangle's hypotenuse which is the segment BC:

I'd say what you would do is:
You can either
1. Add 15 and 18 together and then divide by 2
OR
2. Since there is a 3 number difference between 15 an 18, just add 3 to 18
A. (4+16)/2 = (4+10+16)/3 =10
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of radicals

= 2
Thus
+ 2
- 2
= 4
+ 2
- 4
← collect like terms
= 2
