Let's denote the two square numbers as ( a^2 ) and ( b^2 ), where ( a ) and ( b ) are positive integers. The difference between these two square numbers can be expressed as ( b^2 - a^2 = 40 ). This can be factored as ( (b + a)(b - a) = 40 ). The factors of 40 are (1, 40), (2, 20), and (4, 10). By solving the system of equations, we find that the two square numbers are 49 and 9, as ( 7^2 - 3^2 = 49 - 9 = 40 ).

Well, honey, the square numbers that have a difference of 40 are 64 and 24. You take the square root of both numbers, subtract them, and boom, there's your answer. Math can be a piece of cake if you just use that noggin of yours.
