sum of the areas of two squares is 468 metres square if the difference of their perimeter is 24 formulate the quadratic equation of the side of the two square
Answers
:
→ 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 .
