Answer is 3, 5, 7, 9
details
assume the numbers are
2n-3, 2n-1, 2n+1, 2n+3 ......................... (1)
(2n-3) 2 + (2n-1) 2 + (2n+1) 2 + (2n+3) 2 = 164
16n 2 + 20 = 164
16n 2 = 144
n2 = 9
n = 3
Substitute in eq 1 we get the answer above
The numbers are 12 and 14.
The numbers are 12 and 14.
They are perfect squares.
The numbers are 13 and 14.
perfect squares
8
12 and 12, whose squares will be 144 each. If either of the numbers is smaller than 12, then the other will be larger than 12 and its square will be larger than 144.
62 and 63
15 and 16
17 and 18
4 and 7 -4 and -7
