Evaluate using suitable identity:
h). 139² - 138²

Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\sf \longmapsto 139^2 - 138^2[/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)[/tex]
Here,
[tex]\sf \longmapsto 139^2 - 138^2 = (139 + 138)(139 - 138)[/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto (239 + 138)(239 - 138)[/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto (377)(1)[/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto 377[/tex]
Hence solved !!
Answer:
277
Step-by-step explanation:
Algebraic Identity: a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)
Hence,
139²-138²=(139-138)(139+138)
=1×277
=277
