प्रश्न
The side of a square exceeds the side of another square by 4cm and the sum of the areas of the squares is 400cm2. Find the dimensions of the squares.
उत्तर
Let the side of the smaller square = x
∴ the side of the larger square = x + 4
We know, The area of a square with side s = s2
∴ The area of a square with side x = x2
and, The area of a square with side x + 4 = (x + 4)2
Now, the sum of the two area = 400
⇒ x2 + (x+ 4)2 = 400
⇒ x2 + x2 + 16 + 8x = 400
⇒ 2x2 + 8x + 16 = 400
⇒ 2(x2 + 4x + 8) = 2(200)
⇒ x2 + 4x + 8 = 200
⇒ x2 + 4x - 192 = 0
Splittting the middle term, we have
x2 + 16x - 12x - 192 = 0
⇒ x(x + 16) - 12(x + 16) = 0
⇒ (x + 16)(x - 12) = 0
⇒ x = -16, x = 12
But x is the length of the side of a square,
∴ x ≠ -16
∴ x = 12
⇒ the side ofthe smaller square = 12cm
∴ the side of the larger square
= 12 + 4
= 16cm.
