Math Problem Statement
Solution
Here is the extracted text from your image:
- The side of a square exceeds the side of another square by 5 cm, and the sum of the area of two squares is 325 cm². Find the side of each square.
- There is a square of side 44 cm. Find the radius of the circle whose perimeter is equal to the perimeter of the square.
Let me solve these problems for you.
1. Solve for the sides of the squares
Let the side of the smaller square be cm.
Then the side of the larger square is cm.
The area of the smaller square is .
The area of the larger square is .
From the problem:
Expanding :
Simplify:
Divide through by 2:
Factoring the quadratic equation:
Thus, (not valid as side length cannot be negative) or .
So, the side of the smaller square is cm.
The side of the larger square is cm.
2. Solve for the radius of the circle
The perimeter of the square is cm.
The circumference of the circle is equal to the perimeter of the square:
Thus, the radius of the circle is approximately 28.0 cm.
Summary of Results:
- Side of the smaller square = 10 cm; side of the larger square = 15 cm.
- Radius of the circle = 28.0 cm.
