Sum of area of two squares is 468 metre square if the difference of their perimeter is 24 metre find the sides of the square
Answers
Answer:
Side of one square is 6+6√6m and other square is 6√6m.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we consider the sides of the squares as x and y,
then area, a = x2+ y2 = 468 ---------1.
The difference between their perimeter, p = 4x-4y = 24.
4x-4y = 24
4x = 24+4y
x = (24+4y)/4
x = 6+y -------------2
Put x = 6+ y in equation 1,
x2+y2 = 468
(6+y)2 + y2 = 468
36+y2+y2 = 468
2y2 = 468-36
2y2 = 432
y2 = 432/2
y2 = 216
y = √216
y = √3×4×9×2
y = 2×3√3×2
y = 6√6 m.
Put y = 6√6 in equation 2,
x = 6+y
x = 6+6√6 m.
Verification:
x2+y2 = 468
(6+6√6)2 + (6√6)2 = 468
36+(36×6) + (36×6) = 468
36+216+216 = 468
468 = 468.
4x-4y = 24
4(6+6√6) - 4(6√6) = 24
24+24√6 - 24√6 = 24
24+0 = 24
24 = 24
Sum of the areas of two squares is 468 m²
∵ x² + y² = 468 . ………..(1) .[ ∵ area of square = side²] → The difference of their perimeters is 24 m.
∵ 4x – 4y = 24 [ ∵ Perimeter of square = 4 × side] ⇒ 4( x – y ) = 24
⇒ x – y = 24/4 .
⇒ x – y = 6 .
∴ y = x – 6 ……….(2)
From equation (1) and (2),
∵ x² + ( x – 6 )² = 468
⇒ x² + x² – 12x + 36 = 468
⇒ 2x² – 12x + 36 – 468 = 0
⇒ 2x² – 12x – 432 = 0
⇒ 2( x² – 6x – 216 ) = 0
⇒ x² – 6x – 216 = 0
⇒ x² – 18x + 12x – 216 = 0
⇒ x( x – 18 ) + 12( x – 18 ) = 0
⇒ ( x + 12 ) ( x – 18 ) = 0
⇒ x + 12 = 0 and x – 18 = 0
⇒ x = – 12m [ rejected ] and x = 18m
∴ x = 18 m
Put the value of ‘x’ in equation (2),
∵ y = x – 6
⇒ y = 18 – 6
∴ y = 12 m
