Let x and y be the required numbers. Then r2-y; consequently, x and y may be any two numbers which are the hypotenuse and one leg of a right-angled triangle, and the least numbers of this description are 5 and 3, and the numbers themselves 15625=1252 and 729=272.

Let b be the base, p the perpendicular, and h the hypotenuse of a rational right-angled triangle, r any multiplier of b, p, and h; then (br)2+(px)2=(hx)2, but (br)+(px)= a rational square r; hence (b3+p3).x=r3, or

Let r be the number; b=2, c=1; then r+b3= a cube and r-c3= a cube; hence
