Adding Squared Numbers In The Form: a2 + (2a)2
A. This method is very easy since from algebra we know:
a2 + (2a)2 = 5a2
B. Therefore, you square the smaller number, then multiply by 5 for the answer
Ex [1] 112 + 222 =_________.
a) 112 = 121.
b) 121 x 5 = 605.
c) The answer is 605.
Ex [2] 252 + 502 =_________.
a) 252 = 625.
