60^2 - 50^2

To solve \( 60^2 - 50^2 \), you can use the difference of squares formula, which states that \( a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) \). In this case, let \( a = 60 \) and \( b = 50 \): \[ 60^2 - 50^2 = (60 - 50)(60 + 50) \] Calculating the expressions inside the parentheses: \[ 60 - 50 = 10 \] \[ 60 + 50 = 110 \] Now, multiply these results: \[ (10)(110) = 1100 \] So, \( 60^2 - 50^2 = 1100 \).
