A piece of wire 44cm long is cut into two parts and each part is bent to form a square. If the total area of the two squares is 65 square centimeter, find the perimeter of the two squares.
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "let x=side of one square in cm
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter of one square=4x
\n" ); document.write( "let y=side of other square in cm
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter of other square=4y
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+y^2=65
