Answer:
Let length of shorter side = x m
length of bigger side = (x + 30) m
length of diagonal = (x + 60) m
we have to use Pythagoras theorem,
so, diagonal ² = bigger side² + shorter side²
=> (x + 60)² = (x + 30)² + x²
=> x² + 120x + 3600 = x² + 60x + 900 + x²
=> 60x + 2700x = x²
=> x² - 60x - 2700 = 0
=> x² - 90x + 30x - 2700 = 0
=> x(x - 90) + 30(x - 90) = 0
=> x = -30 and 90 but x ≠ -30
hence, length of shorter side = 90m
length of bigger side = 120m
