Let x= square's side
\n" ); document.write( "Let y=length of the rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "Let z=width of the rectangle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the perimeter of a square and a rectangle are equal
\n" ); document.write( "then 4x=2(y+z)
\n" ); document.write( "The length of the rectangle is 11cm
\n" ); document.write( "then y=11
\n" ); document.write( "area of the square is 4cm^2 more than the area of the rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=yz%2B4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the system to solve is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4x=2%2811%2Bz%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=11z%2B4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=11%2Bz\"
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"z=2x-11\"
\n" ); document.write( "then\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=11%282x-11%29%2B4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-22x%2B117=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%2822+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-22%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A117+%29%29%2F%282%29+\" then\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " x=13 or x=9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if x=9 then z=18-11=7
\n" ); document.write( "if x=13 then z=26-11=15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then z=7 or z=15 but z\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: x=9,z=7 and y=11\r
