Answer 1

Answer:

longer peice is 52.5 meters

shorter npeice is 20.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

so first,

they gave that the the longer peice is 16 m longer than twice the length of shorter peice

first we need to divide 73 by 2 =36.5

longer peice is 16 more

36.5+16=52.5

∴longer peice is 52.5

shorter peice =

73-52.5=20.5 meters

∴shorter peice is 20.5 meters

to check weather your answer is correct or wrong=

52.5+20.5=73
