Since \((a+b)^2=36\), (a+b) could either be 6 or -6.
If (a+b) = 6, then a = 14 and the Quantities are equal.
If (a+b) = -6, then a = 2 and Quantity A is less than Quantity B.
Therefore, the relationship cannot be determined from the given info.
If (a+b) = 6, then a = 14 and the Quantities are equal.
If (a+b) = -6, then a = 2 and Quantity A is less than Quantity B.
Therefore, the relationship cannot be determined from the given info.
