\3. yes the presentation (i.e. odd numbers being written as differences of two squares) is possible for all odd natural number however the presentation may not be unique. for example,  57=112−82=292−28257=112−82=292−282.

\4. 2 can't be written as a difference of two squares because 4-1=3 and 1-1=0 and the difference of squares grows to integers larger that 3.

can i get some in proving questions 1 and 2?

the diagram shows you   triangle def with de=4, df=9 and de≠df≠ef.

the sum of the lengths of two triangles' sides are always greater than the length of the third side:

substitute sides lengths:

then 5< ef< 13 (option 3 is true).

def is a scalene triangle with all sides of different lengths (option 5 is true, option 2 is false).

answer: correct choices are 1, 3 and 5
