Verifying Structural Stress Formulas in Construction Planning

Based on the scenario, recall the Product of Conjugates pattern (a−b)(a+b)=a2−b2(a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2 and describe the exact steps to simplify the expression (3−25)(3+25)(3 - 2\sqrt{5})(3 + 2\sqrt{5}). In your description, identify the values of aa and bb, write down the resulting algebraic expression of the form a2−b2a^2 - b^2, show how to square each term, and calculate the final simplified rational number.
