Step-by-step explanation:
A2 + b2 = (a +b) (a-b)
Putting values
a2 +. b2 = (12)(8)
a2 + b2 = 96
a = 10, b = 2
a^2+b^2 = 100+4 = 104
Work:
Split 12 into two even halves: 6 and 6
Increase one side by 4 and decrease the other side by 4, to make them 8 apart.
Now we have 10 and 2.
a^2+b^2 = 100+4 = 104
Work:
Split 12 into two even halves: 6 and 6
Increase one side by 4 and decrease the other side by 4, to make them 8 apart.
Now we have 10 and 2.
