Answer:

factor out 5^19

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Reason from parity:

both 5^20 and 5^19 are products with only odd numbers (5) as factors. Hence each is an odd number. The difference of odd numbers is always even.

b) Factor:

5^20 -5^19 = 5^19(5 -1) = 5^19×4

This product has an even factor (4), so is even.

Answer:

C. 3,4,5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side must be < the sum of the two shorter sides, otherwise, you can't connect the 3 sides to make a triangle. In A, you get a straight line 4 cm long when you connect them together. In B and D you can't connect them together.
