(1) 51 × 51 can be expressed as:
51 × (50 + 1)
= 51 × 50 + 51 × 1 (using a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c)
= 2550 + 51
= 2601
(2) 75 × 75 can be expressed as:
75 × (50 + 25)
= 75 × 50 + 75 × 25 (using a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c)
= 3750 + 1875
= 5625
(3) 102 × 102 can be expressed as:
102 × (100 + 2)
= 102 × 100 + 102 × 2 (using a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c)
= 10200 + 204
= 10404
