Question

The side of a square exceeds the side of another square by 5cm. The difference of their areas is 325 sq. cm. Find the sides of each square
​

Answer 1

Answer:

30 cm and 35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the smaller square be 'x' cm.

So the side of the other square will be 'x + 5' cm.

We are given that:

(x + 5)² - x² = 325

x² + 10x + 25 - x² = 325

10x = 300

x = 300 ÷ 10

x = 30

Hence the side of 1 square is 30 cm and of the other is 30 + 5 = 35 cm.

Hope this helps....
