Rationalize the denominator

( a + b ) × ( a - b ) = a² - b²

we earlier had 2 multiplied to rest of the numerator and 6 in the denominator..

we simply divided both the numerator as well as denominator by 2 and hence got the result obtained.

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
