and x and y are each separate perimeters of the two squares.

, to account for the total resulting area formed.

CAREFUL. The original wire is 1 METER, but the resulting two squares area is 325 SQUARE CENTIMETERS.
Change the original first equation this way to correct for this.
, to account for the original uncut length in CENTIMETERS.

The rest is just arithmetic or algebra steps. Solve this system, lengths being in centimeters:

Say if you have trouble solving the system.
