ATQ

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto a^2+(a+4)^2=170[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto a^2+a^2+8a+16=170[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 2a^2+8a=154[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto a^2+4a=77[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto a^2+4a-77=0[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto a=7\:or\:a=-11[/tex]

  • a can't be negative

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto a=7[/tex]

  • a+4=7+4=11
