scratsearcher ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒย sopuli.xyz::: spoiler hint Use algebraic substitution and the binomial formulas (a+b)^2 = a^2+2*ab+b^2 (a-b)^2 = a^2-2*ab+b^2 ::: ::: spoiler Solution (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2*ab + b^2 = (a-b)^2 +4*ab = 4^2+4*1 = 16+4 = 20 โฝ :::4

of course the website has something to do with lean
yeah I found this website quite interesting even if I dont want to learn lean right now you can learn some cool proofs. Do you mind if I post other questions from that one here?
