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 .
Answers
Answer:
Area of the first square = a²sqm
Area of the second square = A² sqm
Their perimeters would be 4a and 4A respectively.
Given ,
4A - 4a = 24
A - a = 6 -- (1)
A² + a² = 468 --(2)
From (1) a = a + 6
Substituting for A in (2), we get
→ (a +6)² + a² = 468
→ a² + 12a + 36 + a² = 468
→ 2a² + 12a + 36 = 468
→ a² + 6a + 18 = 234
→ a² + 6a - 216 = 0
→ a² + 18a - 12a - 216 = 0
→ a(a+18) − 12(a+18) = 0
→ (a−12) (a+18) = 0
→ a = 12, -18
So, the side of the first square is 12 m.
The side of the second square is 18 m.
