Step-by-step explanation:
x 2 - y 2 = 208
Same as:
(x + y)(x - y) = 208 (1)
4x - 4y = 32
x = (32 + 4y)/4 ===> x = 8 + y
Sub. x = 8 + y into equation (1)
(8 + y + y)(8 + y - y) = 208 ===> ( 8 + 2y)(8) = 208 ==> 64 + 16y = 208===> 16y = 144 ===> y = 9
Sub 9 for y into equation (1)
(x + 9)(x - 9) = 208===> x 2 - 81 = 208===> x 2 = 289 ==>x = +/- 17
We can not have a -side so x = + 17 is chosen.
The difference between their sides is 17 - 9 = 8 meters
