Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ a^2+b^2=20 \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, please consider the following.
[tex]a^b=b^a\\\\\text{ We can replace a by 2b.}\\\\(2b)^b=2^b\cdot b^b=b^{2a}=b^2\cdot b^b\\\\\text{ Let's assume that b is different from 0 and we can divide by }b^b \\ \\ \text{ both sides of the equation, and it come.}\\\\2^b=b^2\\\\\text{ We find b = 2 and then a = 4, So}\\\\a^2+b^2=4^2+2^2=16+4=20[/tex]
Hope this helps.
