How comes (a²+b²)= a²+b²+2ab ? Prove.
Ans
We can consider a Square area which is divided into four area inside.Having sides are (a+b)
So as shown in the image
i) Area of the first box which is a square
Area = a*a
Area = l*b
Hence area = b*a
iii) area of the third box which is also a rectangle
Area = l*b
Hence area = a*b
iv) Area of the fourth box which is a square
Area = b*b
So area of the whole square will be
= Area of box first + area of box 2+ area of box 3 + area of box fourth
= a*a + a*b+b*a+b*b
= a²+2ab+b²
