Answer:
Let,
First Piece is = x m
Second Piece is = 10 - x m
So,
area of first square - area of second square = 14
x2 - (10 - x)2 = 14
x2 - [ 100 - 20x + x2] = 14
x2 - 100 + 20x - x2 = 14
20x = 14 + 100
x = 114/20
x = 5.7 m
So,
First Piece is = x = 5.7 m
Second Piece = 10 - x = 4.3 m
I hope that it will help you
thanx
