Because b is the mid point of pq, pb = qb. pb is half as long as pq Eq#1....pb = 1/2 pq Eq#2....pq = pb +8 Substitute Eq#1 into Eq #2 pq = 1/2 pq + 8 subtracting1/2 pq from both sides 1/2 pq = 8 pq = 16 problem here: you can't subtract 1/2 ... you would have to divide.
It is the number that precedes pq in the simplified expression.
HL in math mean hypotenuse leg
P x Q
If you are working with real numbers, or even complex numbers, pq is the same as qp, so the result is the same as 2pq. If you use some multiplication that is NOT commutative (such as, when you multiply matrices), you can't simplify the expression.
