if the sum of the areas of two squares is 468 m2 and the difference of their perimeters is24m .find the meserments of their sides
Answers
Answer:
Let the Sides of Square 1 be n, and Sides of Square 2 be m respectively.
☯ Difference of the Perimeter :
⇾ Square 1 – Square 2 = 24
⇾ 4n – 4m = 24
⇾ 4(n – m) = 24
- Dividing both term by 4
⇾ n – m = 6
⇾ n = (6 + m) ⠀— eq. ( I )

☯ According to the Question :
⇴ Sum of Areas of Squares = 468 m²
⇴ (Square 1)² + (Square 2)² = 468 m²
⇴ (n)² + (m)² = 468
- Putting value of n from eq. ( I )
⇴ (6 + m)² + m² = 468
⇴ 36 + m² + 12m + m² = 468
⇴ 2m² + 12m + 36 = 468
⇴ 2(m² + 6m + 18) = 468
- Dividing both term by 2
⇴ m² + 6m + 18 = 234
⇴ m² + 6m + 18 – 234 = 0
⇴ m² + 6m – 216 = 0
⇴ m² + 18m – 12m – 216 = 0
⇴ m(m + 18) – 12(m + 18) = 0
⇴ (m - 12)(m + 18) = 0
⇴ m = 12 m⠀or,⠀m ≠ - 18 m [ Impossible ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
☯ Putting value of m as 12 in eq. ( I ) :
⟶ n = (6 + m)
⟶ n = (6 + 12)
⟶ n = 18 m
∴ Hence, Sides of Squares are 18 metres and 12 metres respectively.
Answer:
Let us say that the sides of the two squares are 'a' and 'b'
Sum of their areas = a^2 + b^2 = 468
Difference of their perimeters = 4a - 4b = 24
=> a - b = 6
=> a = b + 6
So, we get the equation
The sides of the two squares are 12 and 18.
