x+y = 20 xy = 84
x^2+y^2=?
(x+y)^2 = x^2 +y^2 +2xy
x^2+y^2=(x+y)^2-2xy
=(20)^2 -2×84
=400-168
=232

(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²


Take away 2xy from both sides:

(x + y)² - 2xy = x² + y²


Switch sides:

x² + y² = (x + y)² - 2xy


Substitute (x + y)= 20 and xy = 84 into the equation:

x² + y² = (20)² - 2(84)

x² + y² = 400 - 168

x² + y² = 232


Answer: (a) 232
