A^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
To test it, expand the right hand side.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram for the question is attached below
perimeter of the triangle is 28 feet
area of a square is 144 feet
Area of the square is side^2

take square root on both sides
side = 12
side of the square = 12
side is the diameter of the semicircle
Diameter = 12 , so radius = 12 divide 2 = 6
circumference of semicircle = 
one side of the rectangle is calculated in the perimeter of triangle and other side is calculated using circumference
perimeter of other two side = 2(12)= 24
Total perimeter = 
Answer:
It takes 1 minute 12 seconds to fill the bucket if both taps are turned on.
Step-by-step explanation:
- One tap fills the bucket in 2 minutes, thus fills 1/2 of the bucket in one minute.
- Other tap fills the bucket in 3 minutes, thus fills 1/3 of the bucket in one minute.
- Both together fill 1/2+1/3=5/6 of the bucket in one minute.
- If they can fill 5/6 of the bucket in 1 minute, they fill 1/6 of the bucket in 1/5 minute.
- They can fill the bucket (6/6) in 1+1/5 minute
- This is 1 minute 12 seconds
