take your compass on a point on your line. then draw a circle. take the 2 points in which the circle hit the line and draw 2 circles larger than half the distance between he 2 points. take the point that they intersect and and connect it to the line and you point M and it is purpendicular. does that make sense?
X+y = 42
x-y = 8
x = 8+y
Substitute it in 1st equation,
8+y+y=42
2y = 34
y = 17
Substitute it in 1st eq.,
x = 42-17 = 25
So, the two numbers are 25 & 17
Hope this helps!

x - 1
R = 32 / 2 = 16
Pie = 3.14
Area of circle = pie x r^2
= 3.14 x 16^2 = 803.84
