Let the two numbers be x and y such that y < x.

From the given conditions, we have:

x2 - y2 = 45 … (1)

y2 = 4x … (2)

Using (2) in (1), we have:

x2 - 4x - 45 = 0

(x - 9)(x + 5) = 0

x = 9 (Rejecting the negative value of x)

From (2), we get, y = 6 or -6

Rejecting the negative value, we have, y = 6.

Thus, the two numbers are 9 and 6.
