Answer:

   =(s^2 - t^2)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = s and a - b = t,

Add the two equations together

a + b = s

a - b = t

----------------

2a = s+t

a = (s+t)/2

Subtract the two equations

a + b = s

- a + b = -t

-------------------

2b =(s-t)

b = (s-t)/2

We want to find ab

ab = (s+t)/2 *  (s-t)/2

FOIL

    =(s^2 - t^2)/4
