Answer» Answer: 30 cm and 35 cm Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Let the side of the smaller square be 'x' cm. So the side of the other square will be 'x + 5' cm. We are given that: (x + 5)² - x² = 325 x² + 10X + 25 - x² = 325 10x = 300 x = 300 ÷ 10 x = 30 Hence the side of 1 square is 30 cm and of the other is 30 + 5 = 35 cm. Hope this helps.... |
