the sum of areas of two squares is 73 metre square the side of square is 5 more than the other find the sides of the squares
Answers
Answer:
So, the side of square is 3 and 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN :
.
Sum of the areas of two squares =73 m²
Let the side of one of the square be x m.
so, area of the square = x²
the side of other square will be ( x + 5 ) m.
so, the area of the square = ( x + 5 )²
So, sum of areas of both square will be
x² + ( x + 5 )² which is equal to 73 m²
so, x² + x² + 25 + 10x = 73
or, 2x² + 10x - 48 = 0
or, 2x² + 16x - 6x - 48 = 0
so, ( x + 8 )( 2x - 6 ) = 0
so, x = - 8 or 3.
neglect negative values .
So, the side of square is 3 and 8.
Given:
The sum of areas of two squares is 73 metre square the side of square is 5 more than the other
To Find:
The sides of the squares
Solution:
Let us assume that the length of side of one square is = x cm
According to the question, length of side of other square is = x + 5
Area of first square = ( x ) ( x) = x^2
Area of second square = ( x + 5 ) ( x+ 5)
By Question:
sum of area two squares = 73 sq m
x^2 + ( x + 5)^2 = 73
x^2 + x^2 + 10x + 25 -73 =0
x^2 +10 x -48 = 0
By factorizing we get
( x - 3 ) ( x + 8 ) =0
Therefore, either x = 3 or x=-8
Since the value of length of square cannot be negative, so x = 3.
Hence, the length of side of one square is x = 3 and length of side other square = x + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8.
