Question

Find two consecutive positive odd numbers the sum of whose squares is 74

Answer 1

Answer:

7 and 5 are the tow positive numbers

as 7*7 =49

and 5*5= 25

49 +25 = 74

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x then the other will be x+2 because they are odd numbers.

now according to the question the sum of their squares is 74

so, x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 74

solving them(see the image)

since the no. are positive therefore x=5 and the other no. is 7 .......(x+5)
