X/y= 5/7

x+y=372

x=5/7y

5/7y+y=372

12/7y=372

y = 372(7/12)= 217

x= 155

The given numbers are in the ratio $5:7$ . Let the numbers be $5x$ and $7x$ , where $x$ is a real number.

The sum of the numbers is $5x+7x=372$ .

Solve for x,

$12x=372\\ x= \frac{372}{12}\\ x=31$ .

Therefore, the numbers are,

$5*31,7*31$ or the numbers are $155,217$ .

$\text{Let the side of square 1, square 2 and square 3 be x, y and z respectively.}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\\text{Perimeter of square 1,~~ p =100 units.}\\\\\text{So}~ x=\dfrac p 4 = \dfrac{100}4 =25~\text{units.}\\\\\\\text{Area of square 2, a = 225 units}^2\\\\\text{So}~y = \sqrt{a} = \sqrt {225} = 15~ \text{units.}\\\\\text{Use Pythagorean theorem to find z}^2\\\\x^2 =y^2 +z^2 \\\\\implies 25^2 = 15^2 +z^2\\\\\implies z^2 = 625 - 225 = 400\\\\\\$
