Step-by-step explanation:
let two consecutive positive integers be x,x+1,
then, atq, x^2+(x+1)^2=365
x^2+x^2+2x+1=365
2x^2+2x=365-1=364
2(x^2+x)=364
x^2+x=364/2=182
x^2+x-182=0
x^2+14x-13x-182=0
x(x+14)-13(x+14)=0
(x+14)(x-13)=0
x=-14,x=13
since no. is positive integer, hence, x=13
then 2nd consecutive interger=x+1=14
