Answer:

(5h - 4t)(5h + 4t)

Explanation:

25 h² - 16t² ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

Then

25h² - 16t²

= (5h)² - (4t)²

= (5h - 4t)(5h + 4t) ← in factored form

Answer:

(5h-4t)(5h+4t)

Explanation:

25h² - 16t²

adding and subtracting 20ht from it (√25 and √16 = 5x4 = 20):

25h² + 20ht - 20ht -16t²

factor:

(5h-4t)(5h+4t)
