Interesting fact ---> 38 - Question for the day

Find the four digit number or number(s) satisfying this criteria

- The number is a perfect square - WXYZ
- If the Square root of the number is AB, then (A*A) + B = WX and (B*B) = YZ

Please note that there could be more than one correct answer for the above condition

  1. i guess 45 wont come in the solution set.
    fro the eqs
    A*A+B=WX--->1
    B*B=YZ --->2
    OPERATION:100(EQ1)+EQ2
    100A*A+100B+B*B=100(WX)+YZ= WXYZ(THE ORIGINAL NUM)=(10A+B)*(10A+B)=100A*A+20AB+B*B
    =>A=5


    FYI:This is actually a short cut for finding suares of num starting with 5

    51^2=5^2+1, 1^2=2601
    52^2=5^2+2, 2^2=2704
    .
    .
    .
    59^2=5^2+9, 9^2=3481

    similar short cut for sq starting with 4

    (1,9)(2,8)(3,7)(4,6)(5,5)
    are square pairs

    41^2=(4^2-1)+1, 9^2= 1681
    42^2=(4^2-1)+2, 8^2=1764
    43^2=(4^2-1)+3, 7^2=1849
    .

    49^2=(4^2-1)+9, 1^2= 2401
