The figure below ahows the right teiangle XYz. WICH of this ratios can be used to find the cosine of the angle corresponding to 0 in a similar right triangle XY/XZ XY/YZ YZ/XZ XZ/XY

Answerthe simplified expression isexplanationthe given expression is,let us deal with the bracket first.the two negatives in the parenthesis will become positive.the expression now becomes,we now expand the parenthesis to get,we group like terms to obtain,this simplifies to,

Use pythagorean’s theorem and find the missing side lengths of the two smaller triangles and add them together
13^2 - 12^2 = 5
15^2 - 12^2 = 9
5+9 = 14
14 is the length of each side of the square
14^2 + 14^2 = 19.8
19.8 is the diagonal length of the inside if the square
