AB=[ab]=10a+b  CD=[ba]=a+10b  with 1≤a,b≤9    OE^2 =(1/4)(AB^2 −CD^2 )  ⇒OE=((√((AB+CD)(AB−CD)))/2)  =((3(√(11(a+b)(a−b))))/2)=rational  ⇒(a+b)(a−b)=11n^2   OE=((3×11n)/2)=((33n)/2)    case 1:  a+b=11  a−b=n^2   ⇒a=((11+n^2 )/2), b=((11−n^2 )/2)  n=1: a=6, b=5 ⇒OE=((33)/2)  n=3: a=10>9, b=1 ⇒bad    case 2:  a+b=n^2   a−b=11 ⇒a>11>9 ⇒bad    case 3:  a+b=11n  a−b=n  ⇒a=6n, b=5n  n=1: a=6, b=5 ⇒OE=((33)/2)  n=2: a=12>9, b=10>9 ⇒bad    case 4:  a+b=n  a−b=11n>a+b ⇒bad    case 5:  a+b=11n^2   a−b=1  ⇒a=((11n^2 +1)/2), b=((11n^2 −1)/2)  n=1: a=6, b=5 ⇒OE=((33)/2)    ⇒the only solution is OE=((33)/2) with  AB=65, CD=56
