Question

If 4 times the area of smaller square is subtracted from the area of a larger square the result is 144metre square . The sum of the area of the two sqaure is 464 metre square . Determine the sides of the two square

Answer 1

Smaller Sq= 64m
Larger Sq = 400m

Hope it'll help.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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
