Solve 1.5^2+0.5^2+0.5^2+1.5^2=

$${ 1.5 }^{ 2 } + { 0.5 }^{ 2 } + { 0.5 }^{ 2 } + { 1.5 }^{ 2 } =$$

Evaluate

$$5$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 1.5 to the power of 2 and get 2.25.

$$2.25+0.5^{2}+0.5^{2}+1.5^{2}$$

Calculate 0.5 to the power of 2 and get 0.25.

$$2.25+0.25+0.5^{2}+1.5^{2}$$

Add 2.25 and 0.25 to get 2.5.

$$2.5+0.5^{2}+1.5^{2}$$

Calculate 0.5 to the power of 2 and get 0.25.

$$2.5+0.25+1.5^{2}$$

Add 2.5 and 0.25 to get 2.75.

$$2.75+1.5^{2}$$

Calculate 1.5 to the power of 2 and get 2.25.

$$2.75+2.25$$

Add 2.75 and 2.25 to get 5.

$$5$$

Factor
