96 108 169 125 |
108 |
Let the 2 numbers be x and y. So, according to the question: (x - y)2 = 9 -------1st equation x2 + y2 = 225 ----2nd equation (x - y)2 = 9 = x2 + y2 - 2xy = 9 Putting the values of 2nd equation in the above equation: x2 + y2 - 2xy = 9 225 - 2xy = 9 2xy = 216 xy = 108 Thus, we can say that the product of the two numbers i.e. x and y is 108. |
