Explanation:

Hey there!

Let's take out the square of 1st ten natural numbers to find out the exact answer.

1² = 1

2² = 4

3² = 9

4² = 16

5² = 25

6² = 36

7² = 49

8² = 64

9² = 81

10² = 100

Now; You can take any of these numbers and subtract from their squares.

So, let's check 6² and 5²

36-25 = 11 which is not equal to 19

Again check for 10²-9²

100 - 81 = 19 (True value)

Therefore, 19 can be expressed as the difference of square of 10 and 9.

Hope it helps!
