Angle · Answer

@xxDeppressionxx Your answer is incorrect.

The question is asking: Is (5 + 3)^2 equal to (5^2) + (3^2) ?

Angle · Answer

Using the order of operations: PEMDAS

We do the stuff on the inside of the Parentheses first
(5+3)^2
= (8)^2

Then 8^2 = 8 x 8 because that is how exponents work.

Then the question is asking
IS 8 x 8 equal to the 34 that xxDeppressionxx got before?
