The sum of two numbers is 24 and their product is 143. The sum of the square is ____ *

1 point

a) 296

b) 295

c) 286

d) 228

​

Answer 1

Answer:

a² + b² = 290

Step-by-step explanation:

given (a+b)=24 and ab= 143

we need to find a²+b²=?

as we know (a+b)= 24

squaring on both sides we get

(a+b)² = 24²

a²+ 2ab + b² = 576

a²+b² = 576 - 2(143)

a²+b² = 576 - 286

a² + b² = 290
