Question

Divide 29 into two parts such that the sum of squares of the parts is 425

Answer 1

Answer:

16 or 13

Step-by-step explanation:

29=x + y

y=29-x

x square +y square=425

x square +(29-x)square=425

x square +841+x square -58x=425

2x square -58x+416=0

x square-29x+208=0

x square -13x-16x+208=0

x (x-13)-16(x-13)=0

(x-13)(x-16)=0

x=13

x=16
