Question:

Simplify the following expression.

$\frac{17.46^2-4.46^2}{17.46+4.46}$

Options:

13

17

21.92

4

Correct Answer:

13

Explanation:

$\frac{17.46^2-4.46^2}{17.46+4.46}$

We know,

a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a – b)

$\frac{17.46^2-4.46^2}{17.46+4.46}$ = $\frac{(17.46+4.46)(17.46-4.46)}{17.46+4.46}$

= (17.46-4.46) = 13
