sum of the areas of two squares is 468 m square if the difference of their perimeter is 24 metre then find the side of the square
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let , A1&A2 be the side of the two squares respectively.
Given A1^2+A2^2=468m------(1)
4(A1-A2)=24m
(A1-A2)=6-----(1)
A1=6+A2, substituting in eq.1
We get, A2=approx.32m and
A1=38m
Answer:-
★ Point to remember:-
→ Let the sides of the two squares be x m and ym.
→ Therefore, their perimeter will be 4x and 4y respectively
→ And area of the squares will be x² and y² respectively.
★ Given:-
4x – 4y = 24
x – y = 6
x = y + 6
★ Also, wkt:-
x² + y² = 468
→ (6 + y²) + y² = 468
→ 36 + y² + 12y + y² = 468
→ 2y² + 12y + 432 = 0
→ y² + 6y – 216 = 0
→ y² + 18y – 12y – 216 = 0
→ y(y +18) -12(y + 18) = 0
→ (y + 18)(y – 12) = 0
→ y = -18, 12
[As we know, the side of a square cannot be negative]
Hence, the sides of the squares are 12 m and (12 + 6) m = 18
