(𝑖𝑖𝑖)𝑎2 − 𝑏 2 = (𝑎 + 𝑏) (𝑎 − 𝑏)
(𝑖𝑣)(𝑎 + 𝑏)3 = 𝑎3 + 3𝑎2 𝑏 + 3𝑎𝑏 2 + 𝑏 3
= 𝑎3 + 𝑏 3 + 3𝑎𝑏(𝑎 + 𝑏)
(𝑣)(𝑎 − 𝑏)3 = 𝑎3 − 3𝑎2 𝑏 + 3𝑎𝑏 2 − 𝑏 3
= 𝑎3 − 𝑏 3 − 3𝑎𝑏(𝑎 − 𝑏)
(𝑣𝑖)𝑎3 + 𝑏 3 = (𝑎 + 𝑏)(𝑎2 − 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏 2 )
= (𝑎 + 𝑏)3 − 3𝑎𝑏(𝑎 + 𝑏)
(𝑣𝑖𝑖)𝑎3 − 𝑏 3 = (𝑎 − 𝑏)(𝑎2 + 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏 2 )
= (𝑎 − 𝑏)3 + 3𝑎𝑏(𝑎 − 𝑏)
(𝑣𝑖𝑖𝑖)(𝑎 + 𝑏)2 + (𝑎 − 𝑏)2 = 2 (𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 )
(𝑖𝑥)(𝑎 + 𝑏)2 − (𝑎 − 𝑏)2 = 4𝑎𝑏
(𝑥)(𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐)2 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 + 𝑐 2 + 2𝑎𝑏 + 2𝑏𝑐 + 2𝑐𝑎

Systems of Measurement of an Angle
(i) Sexagesimal system. In this system,
1 right angle =90° (degree)
1°=60' (minute)
1'=60" (second)
(ii) Centesimal system. In this system
1 right angle = 100g (grade)
1g = 100' (minute)
1'=100" (second)
(iii) Circular system. In this system, the unit of angle is radian.
One radian is the angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the
circle.
If 𝑙 is the length of an arc and 𝜃 is the angle subtended at the centre of the circle as shown in Fig., then
