Answer:

gien \:  \:  \\ a = 2 -   \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2}  +  \sqrt{5}   = 2 -  \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2} \\ and \:  \:  \: b = 2  +  \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2}  +  \sqrt{5}  = 2 +  \frac{3 \sqrt{5} }{2}  \\ thus \:  \:  \: a {}^{2}  - b {}^{2}  =  (2 -  \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2} ) {}^{2}  - (2 +  \frac{3 \sqrt{5} }{2}) {}^{2}  \\  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: = (4 - 2 \sqrt{5}  +  \frac{5}{4} ) - (4 + 6 \sqrt{5 }  +  \frac{45}{4} ) \\   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: = 4 \sqrt{5}  - 10
