a: \(=\sqrt{25}=5\)
b: \(=3\cdot5=15\)
a) \(\sqrt{13^2-12^2}=\sqrt{\left(13-12\right)\left(13+12\right)}=\sqrt{25}=5\)
b) \(\sqrt{17^2-8^2}=\sqrt{\left(17-8\right)\left(17+8\right)}=\sqrt{9.25}=\sqrt{9}.\sqrt{25}=3.5=15\)
c) \(\sqrt{117^2-108^2}=\sqrt{\left(117-108\right)\left(117+108\right)}=\sqrt{9.225}=\sqrt{9}.\sqrt{225}=3.15=45\)
d) \(\sqrt{313^2-312^2}=\sqrt{\left(313-312\right)\left(313+312\right)}=\sqrt{625}=25\)
