Question
Let the two consecutive positive integers be x and x+1
Then by the given condition,
x2+(x+1)2 = 365
x2+ x2+2x+1 = 365
2x2+2x-364 = 0
x2+x-182 = 0
x2+14x-13x-182 = 0
x(x+14)-13(x+14) = 0
(x+14)(x-13) = 0
x = -14 or 13
Since the numbers are positive so x = -14 not possible.
So, the numbers are 13 and 13+1 = 14.
