Two parts : A and B. (Let B be the smaller part).
Given : A + B = 20 ----- (1)
2 * B² = A² - 16 ---- (2)
Now from equation (1), A = 20 - B. Substitute it in equation (2).
2 B² = (20 - B)² - 16
= 400 + B² - 40 B - 16
B² + 40 B - 384 = 0
discriminant = [ 40² + 4*384] = 3136
B = [ - 40 + √3136 ] / 2
= - 48 or 8 ... Ignore negative value
So A = 20 - B = 12
