Don't you mean "the sum of the squares ..."?
The sum of the squares of two consecutive whole numbers is 25.  Find the numbers.  Let the first be represented by x and the second by x+1.
Then x^2+(x+1)^2=25.  Expanding, x^2+x^2+2x+1=25.
Rewriting this as a quadratic equation in standard form,

2x^2+2x+1=25, or 2x^2+2x-24=0.  Simplifying, x^2+x-12=0.
Factoring, (x-3)(x+4)=0.  Solving for x:  x-3=0, so x=3; x+4=0, so x=-4.
Choose the positive x value:  x=3.  Then the next consecutive number is 2+1=3+1=4.

Check:  Does 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 = 25?  Yes.
The numbers are 3 and 4.

Rotating 180 degrees about the point p. 

If they are perpendicular reflecting across each one will have the same effect as if the point was rotated 180 degrees about the certain point.
