Question

the perimeter of two squares are 40m and 96m. Find the perimeter of anothe square equal in area to the sum of the first two squares.​

Answer 1

Answer:

104m

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter=4*side

side=perimeter/4

side(square 1)=40/4=10 m

side(square 2)=96/4=24 m

area=side^2

area(square 1)=100 m^2

area(square 2)=576 m^2

let side of the new square=x

ATQ, its area =(100+576)=676 m^2

therefore, side=area^(1/2)

x=676^(1/2)=26 m

thus, perimeter= 4x = 4*26 = 104 m
