Let c and d be the two numbers. Since the square of the sum of c and d is 289, \((c+d)^2 = 289\).
Expand:
\((c+d)^2 = 289\)
\(c^2+2cd+d^2 = 289\)
Substitute cd=66 into it and simplify:
\(c^2 + 2(66) + d^2 = 289\)
\(c^2 + d^2 = 157\)
Now we're left with the sum of the squares of c and d.
Expand:
\((c+d)^2 = 289\)
\(c^2+2cd+d^2 = 289\)
Substitute cd=66 into it and simplify:
\(c^2 + 2(66) + d^2 = 289\)
\(c^2 + d^2 = 157\)
Now we're left with the sum of the squares of c and d.
