Here is your answer
1. (−2^2 − 4 + 13) + (12^2 + 2 − 25)
= (4-4+13)+ (144+2-25)
[Note:- -2^2=(-2×-2)= +4]
= 13+ (146-25)
=13+121
= 134
2. (7^2 + 4 − 26) − (−7^2 − 3 + 15)
= (49+4-26) - (49-3+15)
= 49 +4 -26 -49 +3 -15
= 7-41
= -34

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we have that

Step 1
<u>Find the value of AC</u>
we know that
in the right triangle ABC

substitute the values in the formula

Step 2
<u>Find the value of BC</u>
we know that
in the right triangle ABC
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

substitute the values

Step 3
<u>Find the value of BD</u>
we know that
in the right triangle BCD
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

substitute the values


therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of BD is 11.93 units
