Question

if 4 times the area of a smaller square is subtracted from the area of a larger square the result is 144 M2 the sum of the area of the two square is 464 M determine the side of the two squares

Answer 1

let x be the area of smaller square and y for larger
x + y =464 m^2
y-4x=144 m^2

from 1 eqn
y=464-x
put this in eqn 2
464-x-4x=144
-5x=144-464
x=320/5
x=64.
y=400.

area of square= (side)^2
so side of first square = 8
side of larger square=20

side of smaller square= 8

Answer 2

Y=20

X=8

Hope this helps you
