let the consecutive no be x and x+1
a/q
x^2+(x+1)^2=365
x^2+x^2+2x+1-365=0
2x^2+2x-364=0
2x^2+28x-26x-364=0
2x(x+14)-26(x+14)=0
(2x-26) (x+14) =0
either. or
2x=26. x=-14
x=26/2
x=13
since nos are positive ,we will take value of x=13
Now. x+1=13+1=14
a/q
x^2+(x+1)^2=365
x^2+x^2+2x+1-365=0

Heya user !!
Here's the answer you are looking for
Let the 2 consecutive numbers be x and (x + 1).
The question says,
x² + (x + 1)² = 365
x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 365
2x² + 2x - 364 = 0
x² + x - 182 = 0
x² - 13x + 14x - 182 = 0
(x - 13)(x + 14) = 0
➡️Thus, x = 13 or x = –14
Since, x is a positive integer, x = 13 is our answer.
Therefore, the 2 consecutive positive integers, sum of whose square is 364 are 13 and 14.
