Two numbers have a difference of 28. what is the sum of their squares if it is a minimum?

392

Step-by-step explanation:

Squares get really big very quickly, so you don't want to use any bigger numbers. The biggest total of the squares would be from

using

1 and 28

1+28

2=1+784=785

2 and 27=4+729=733

142+14

2=196+196=392

The greater the difference between the two numbers, the bigger one of the numbers is going to be.

Therefore use two numbers with the smallest difference between them which will be

14 and 14

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .
