Think of your age in years [10x + y]

• Multiply your age by 2[20x + 2y]

• Add 10[20x + 2y + 10]

• Multiply by 5[100x + 10y + 50]

• Add your favourite one-digit number[100x + 10y + 50 + z]

• Subtract 50 [100x + 10y + z]

Note:(a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

One of the 3 most important algebraic identities.

The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle can be found using Pythagoras’ Theorem.

Let the 3cm (a side of the Δ ) be a 4cm (other side of the Δ ) be b hypotenuse (the diagonal side of the Δ ) be x.

Pythagoras theorem:a² + b² = x²

Therefore,3² + 4² = 259 + 16 = x² = 25x = 5
