Q. Wilma is thinking of two numbers. Both numbers are square numbers greater than 11 . The sum of the two numbers is 100100 . What are the two numbers?
  1. List Square Numbers: List out square numbers greater than 11 and less than 100100.\newline12=11^2 = 1 (not greater than 11), 22=42^2 = 4, 32=93^2 = 9, 42=164^2 = 16, 52=255^2 = 25, 62=366^2 = 36, 72=497^2 = 49, 82=648^2 = 64, 92=819^2 = 81, 102=10010^2 = 100 (not less than 100100).
  2. Pairing for Sum: Start pairing the square numbers to see which two add up to 100100. 4+81=854 + 81 = 85 (not 100100), 9+64=739 + 64 = 73 (not 100100), 16+36=5216 + 36 = 52 (not 100100), 25+25=5025 + 25 = 50 (not 100100), 36+64=10036 + 64 = 100 (bingo!).
  3. Check Sum and Squares: Check if both numbers are square numbers and if their sum is indeed 100100. 3636 is 626^2 and 6464 is 828^2, and 36+64=10036 + 64 = 100.
