    Step-by-step explanation:

    A2 + b2 = (a + b) (a-b)

    Putting values

    a2 +. b2 = (12) (8)

    a2 + b2 = 96

    A = 10, b = 2

    a^2+b^2 = 100+4 = 104

    Work:

    Split 12 into two even halves: 6 and 6

    Increase one side by 4 and decrease the other side by 4, to make them 8 apart.

    Now we have 10 and 2.
