Answer:13,14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the consecutive no.s be x and x+1.
So their squares are x²and (x+1)²
According to the question,
x²+(x+1)²=365
Expanding it, we get
x²+x²+2x+1=365
2x²+2x=364
x²+x-182=0
By splitting the middle term,
x(x+14)-13(x+14)
(x-13)(x+14)
we get x=13, -14
Rejecting the negative value,x=13
So the consequtive no.s are 13 and 14, where 13 is x and 14 is x+1
