Question

when you subtract one square number from another the answer is 16 what are the 2 numbers?

Answer 1

25 - 9 = 16
25 is the square of 5 and 9 is the square of 3

Answer 2

For this case we must find an expression of the form:

$x ^ 2 - y ^ 2 = 16$

Where,

x: unknown number 1

y: unknown number 2

A possible subtraction of numbers that is equal to 16 is given by:

$25 - 9 = 16$

Rewriting these numbers as squared numbers, we have:

$5 ^ 2 - 3 ^ 2 = 16$

Therefore, the numbers are 5 and 3.

Answer:

the 2 numbers are:

5 and 3
