The combined area of two squares is 2600 square inches.
\n" ); document.write( "Each side of one square is five times as long as a side of the other square.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the dimensions of each of the squares.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the side of the smaller square
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "5x = side of the larger
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (5x)^2 = 2600
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 25x^2 = 2600
\n" ); document.write( "26x^2 = 2600
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 2600/26
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 100
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%28100%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 inches is the side of the small square
\n" ); document.write( "You can find out the side of the large square\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
