Question

The area of two square is 468m^2 and the difference between their perimeter is 24m . Find the sides of square

Answer 1

s represents the side of the larger square

s - 6 represents the side of the smaller square

 

s² + (s - 6)² = 468

 

Can you solve for s and answer?

Answer 2

Suppose that the two squares have sides measuring x and y, respectively.

Then x^{2 +} y² = 468 AND ALSO 4x - 4y = 24.

 

There's a system of two equations; solve it!
