Answer:

Explanation:

We can simplify the expression (8-2)2+(7-3)2 as follows:

(8-2)2+(7-3)2

= 6² + 4² [Simplify inside the parentheses]

= 36 + 16 [Evaluate the squares]

= 52

Therefore, the expression (8-2)2+(7-3)2 is equivalent to 52.

None of the answer choices matches 52, but we can see that answer choice C, (64-4) +(49-9), simplifies to:

(64-4) +(49-9) = 60 + 40 = 100

So, answer choice C, (64-4) +(49-9), is equivalent to the original expression (8-2)2+(7-3)2.
