### Combinatorial Identities and Proofs

#### a. Combinatorial Proof for the Identity

**Given Conditions:**
- \( m \geq 0 \)
- \( n \geq 0 \)
- \( r \geq 0 \)

**Identity to Prove:**

\[
\binom{m}{0} \binom{n}{r} + \binom{m}{1} \binom{n}{r-1} + \cdots + \binom{m}{r} \binom{n}{0} = \binom{m+n}{r}
\]

**Note:**

\[
\binom{a}{b} = 0, \text{ whenever } b > a
\]

#### b. Proof of Another Identity

**Identity to Prove:**

\[
\binom{n}{0}^2 + \binom{n}{1}^2 + \binom{n}{2}^2 + \cdots + \binom{n}{n}^2 = \binom{2n}{n}
\]

**Hint:**
- Find appropriate values for \( m, n, \) and \( r \) in the identity from part (a).
