So the expression is:

You can combine like terms, which are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. That means you can combine the two

.

The other terms can't be combined.
Your final answer should be

.
Answer:
I believe it's A)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Area of square PQRS is 81cm^2 and of ABCD is 25cm^2
You know its a square. Which means all the sides are equal and same length. If you dont know what's a square then here is the definition:
Square is a plane figure with four equal sides and four right (90°) angles.
So now we know both of are squares, in case of the first square, PQRS, one side length is already given which is PQ=9cm. Now one side is 9cm which means all the sides are 9cm's (PQ=9cm, QR=9cm, RS=9cm,SP=9cm). So to find area just multiply them:
9cm * 9cm = 81cm^2
Now you found the area of the first square. So for the second square, ABCD, one side length is 5 cm so all the rest three sides are also 5 cm. Again, multiply them in order to find the area:
5cm * 5cm = 25cm^2
So square PQRS is 81cm^2 to that of square ABCD is 25cm^2
CAUTIONS: IT IS NOT THAT HARD YA KNOW
By the way, hope it helps! ^^
Answer:
I agree that this question can be confusing:
Apparently point A and point B must be on the same straight line (measured from the light house or the question would be nonsensical)
tan 13 = H / DA where H is height of lighthouse
tan 8 = H / DB tangent measured from point B
tan 13 / tan 8 = DB / DA
DB = .2309 / .1405 * 1279 = 2101 ft
DB - DA = 2101 - 1279 = 822.0 ft
