Answer:Why, it’s the sum of a2 and b2, of course. It doesn’t have an “answer” beyond that. Formulas can be evaluated — they don’t have answers.
Perhaps you meant a2+b2 ? Well, in that case, it’s the sum of a2 and b2 , about which we know nothing.
If you meant (a)(2)+(b)(2) , then it should be written 2a+2b , and it’s equal to the sum of twice a and twice b.
If you meant a2+b2 , then it’s the sum of the squares of a and b, whatever those may be. On the offchance that a and b represent the legs of a right triangle, then a2+b2=c2 , where c is the length of the hypotenuse.
