Let x cm the perimeter of square 2, and x/4 the length of its side.
Perimeter of square 1 is (x+36) cm and its side (x+36)/4 cm.
The area of square 2 is: and the area of square 1
Since the areas of these two squares differ with we write:
, solving the final equation we find x=36 cm.
The area of a larger square is:.
