Answer:

Let the two parts be x and (29 - x).

We know that the sum of squares of the parts is 425, so we can write the equation:

x^2 + (29 - x)^2 = 425

Expanding the equation, we get:

x^2 + 841 - 58x + x^2 = 425

Combine like terms:

2x^2 - 58x + 416 = 0

Divide by 2:

x^2 - 29x + 208 = 0

Factor the quadratic:

(x - 13)(x - 16) = 0

So, the two parts are:

x = 13 and (29 - x) = 16

Or,

x = 16 and (29 - x) = 13

Therefore, the two parts are 13 and 16.
