Sum of the areas of 2 square is 468 .. If the diff of their perimeter is 24 . Find the sides .. ❤
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
→ The difference of their perimeters is 24 m .
∵ 4x - 4y = 24 . [ ∵ Perimeter of square = 4 × side . ] ⇒ 4( x - y ) = 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
