the sum of the area of two squares is 468 m^2 and the perimeters are 24 m. tell the sides of the squares?
Answers
Given,
Sum of the area of two squares is 468 m^2
Difference between the perimeter of these sqaures is 24 m.
To find ,
length of the sides of these sqaures.
Main solution :-
Let the side of 1st sqaures be equal to x metre.
Let the side of the second sqaure be equal to y metre.
So,
Area of sqaure 1 = x^2
Area of sqaure 2 = y^2
Perimeter of sqaure 1 = 4x
Perimeter of sqaure 2 = 4y
According to question,
x^2 + y^2 = 468 m^2 (i)
4x - 4y = 24m
To find, x and y
4x - 4y = 24
4(x - y) = 24
x -y = 24/4
x-y = 6 (ii)
x = 6 +y (iii)
Putting this in (i)
x^2 + y^2 = 468
(6+y)^2 +y^2 = 468
36 + y^2 + 12 y +y^2 = 468
2y^2 + 12y -432 = 0
2(y^2 +6y -216 ) = 0
y^2 +6y -216 = 0
y^2+18y-12y-216=0
y(y+18)-12(y+18)=0
(y+18)(y-12)=0
Now, y = -18 or y = +12
Since, length can't be negative. We will take only the positive value of y .
Now,
From equation (iii)
x = 6 + y
= 6 + 12
= 18
Answer :- Length of side of one sqaure is 18 m and length of side of other sqaure is 12 m
sum of area of two squares =>
difference between perimeter of the squares =>
length of the side of the squares
let the side of a square = x metres
let the side of the second square = y metre q
area of square 1 = x^2
area of square 2=y^2
perimeter of square 1 = 4x
perimeter of square 2 = 4y
4x-4y=24m
To find x and y
4(x-y) =24
X-y = 24/4
X-y=6---------------------(2)
Put this in 1
X=6+y--------------------(3)
36+y^2+12y+y^2=468
2y^2+12y-468=0
2(y^2+6y-216)=0
Y^2+6y-216=0
Y^2+18y-12y-216=0
(y+18)(y-12)=0
Now, y =-18 or y =12y
since length cannot be negative we take only the positive value
