3
Harry was working out 2^{2} \times 5^{2} and thought that he could simplify the expression using the fact that 2 \times 5 = 10.
a
Evaluate 2^{2} \times 5^{2}, by first expanding and evaluating each square.
b
Now, using the fact 2 \times 5 = 10, evaluate 10^{2}.
c
Is 2^{2} \times 5^{2} = \left( 2 \times 5\right)^{2} a true statement?
d
Calculate 4^{2} \times 2^{2} using the above method.
4

5
Evaluate the following:
a
\sqrt{4}
b
\sqrt{16}
c
\sqrt{121}
d
\sqrt{144} + \sqrt{64}
e
\sqrt{144} - \sqrt{64}
f
\sqrt{6^{2} + 8^{2}}
g
\sqrt{13^{2} - 12^{2}}
h
