Question

the sum of the areas of two squares is 400 sq.m if the difference between theri perimeters is 16 m, find the size of two squares plz help me​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the sides of the two squares be x cm and y cm where x > y. Then, their areasare x2 and y2 and their perimeters are 4x and 4y. Since the value of y cannot be negative, the value of y =12. Thus, the sides of the two squares are 16 cm and 12 cm.
