\textbf{Given:}

\mathsf{a+b=5}

\mathsf{a-b=\sqrt{7}}

\textbf{To find:}

\textsf{The value of ab}

\mathsf{}

\textbf{Solution:}

\textsf{We know that,}

\boxed{\mathsf{4ab=(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2}}

\implies\mathsf{4ab=(5)^2-(\sqrt{7})^2}

\implies\mathsf{4ab=25-7}

\implies\mathsf{4ab=18}

\implies\mathsf{ab=\dfrac{18}{4}}

\implies\boxed{\mathsf{ab=\dfrac{9}{2}}}

\textbf{Answer:}

\mathsf{The\;value\;of\;ab\;is\;\dfrac{9}{2}}
