Remember an identity .. With this identity, we can solve the problem.
= or . whereas ok?
But ; in the above identity, we dont have the value of 2xy.
So, which is = 28. Therefore, 2xy = 28.
So, xy = 28/2 = 14. Answer. Therefore the value of xy = 14. I hope this is clear to you. Best of luck. Feel free to contact me anytime online on any doubts in mathematics.
