Question 2:

The sum of areas of two squares is 157 m². If the sum of their perimeters is 68 m, find the sides of the two squares.                     [CBSE 2019]

Solution:

Let the side of first square = x m

And side of second square = y m

According to the question

4 x + 4y = 68 m

⇒ 4 y = 68 – 4 x

⇒  4 y = 4(17 – x)

⇒  y   =  17 – x

Again from the question

x² + y² = 157

⇒ x² + (17 – x)² = 157

⇒   x² + 289 + x² – 34 x = 157

⇒  2 x² – 34 x + 289 -157 = 0

⇒  2 x² – 34 x + 132 = 0

⇒   x² – 17 x + 66 = 0

⇒   x² – 11 x – 6 x + 66 = 0

⇒   x(x – 11) – 6(x – 11) = 0

⇒ (x – 11)(x – 6) = 0

⇒ x = 11, 6

Hence, side of small square = 6 m

And the side of large square = 11 m
