Question

sum of the areas of two squares is 468 m square if the difference of their perimeter is 24 m find the sides of the two square

Answer 1

Let the sides of first and second square be X and Y .

Area of first square = (X)²

And,

Area of second square = (Y)²

According to question,

(X)² + (Y)² = 468 m² ------------(1).

Perimeter of first square = 4 × X

and,

Perimeter of second square = 4 × Y

According to question,

4X - 4Y = 24 -----------(2)

From equation (2) we get,

4X - 4Y = 24

4(X-Y) = 24

X - Y = 24/4

X - Y = 6

X = 6+Y ---------(3)

Putting the value of X in equation (1)

(X)² + (Y)² = 468

(6+Y)² + (Y)² = 468

(6)² + (Y)² + 2 × 6 × Y + (Y)² = 468

36 + Y² + 12Y + Y² = 468

2Y² + 12Y - 468 +36 = 0

2Y² + 12Y -432 = 0

2( Y² + 6Y - 216) = 0

Y² + 6Y - 216 = 0

Y² + 18Y - 12Y -216 = 0

Y(Y+18) - 12(Y+18) = 0

(Y+18) (Y-12) = 0

(Y+18) = 0 Or (Y-12) = 0

Y = -18 OR Y = 12

Putting Y = 12 in EQUATION (3)

X = 6+Y = 6+12 = 18

Side of first square = X = 18 m

and,

Side of second square = Y = 12 m.

Answer 2

Answer:

→ 18m and 12 m .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of two squares be x m and y m respectively .

Case 1 .

→ Sum of the areas of two squares is 468 m² .

A/Q,

∵ x² + y² = 468 . ...........(1) .

[ ∵ area of square = side² . ]

Case 2 .

→ The difference of their perimeters is 24 m .

A/Q,

∵ 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) , we get

∵ 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), we get

∵ y = x - 6 .

⇒ y = 18 - 6 .

∴ y = 12 m .

Hence, sides of two squares are 18m and 12m respectively .
