Let 
represent the measure of the side of the larger square. Then the measure of the side of the smaller square is 
. Therefore the area of the larger square is 
and the area of the smaller square is ^2)
. And since the difference in the areas is 
we can say:
^2\ =\ 95)
Solve for and then subtract 7 to get the two length measures.
