Verified Answer :

I used mental math and it took a long time, but I got the answer of 2,499.

Answer:

The value of given expression is 2499.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\(51\cdot 49\)

This expression can be written as

\((50+1)\cdot (50-1)\)

Using the property of algebraic expression we get

\((50+1)\cdot (50-1)=(50)^2-1^2\)          \([\because (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2]\)

\((50+1)\cdot (50-1)=2500-1\)

\((50+1)\cdot (50-1)=2499\)

Therefore the value of given expression is 2499.
