Sum of the areas of two squares is 305 m2 . If the difference of their perimeters is 36
cm then find the sides of the two squares.
Answers
Answer:
Let x be the length of the side of First square and y be the length of side of the second square.
Then, x 2 +y 2=305...(i)
Let x be the length of the side of the bigger square
4x−4y=36
⇒ x−y=9 or x=y+9...(ii)
Putting the value of x in terms of y from equation (ii), in equation (i), we get
(y+9) 2+y 2 =305
⇒ y 2 +18y+81+y 2=305
⇒ 2y 2+18y−224=0
Y2+9Y-112=0
⇒ y(y+14)8−(y+14)=0
⇒ (y+14)(y−8)=0
Either y+14=0 or y−8=0
⇒ y=−14 or y=8
But sides cannot be negative, so y=8
Therefore, x=8+6=14
Hence, sides of two square are 14m and 8m

Let x be the length of the side of the bigger square
4x−4y=24
⇒ x−y=6 or x=y+6...(ii)
Putting the value of x in terms of y from equation (ii), in equation (i), we get
(y+6)

⇒ y(y+18)12−(y+18)=0
⇒ (y+18)(y−12)=0
Either y+18=0 or y−12=0
⇒ y=−18 or y=12
But sides cannot be negative, so y=12
Therefore, x=12+6=18
Hence, sides of two square are 18m and 12m
