Let \"x\" be the length of one side of \"square\" pan.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then,the area of the square pan is \"x%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the other pan's one side is \"6cm\" narrower and other side \"8cm\" longer, than other pan's area is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-6%29%28x%2B8%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since given that both areas are same, we now have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+=+%28x-6%29%28x%2B8%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FOIL the right:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+=+x%5E2%2B8x-6x-48\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+8x-6x-48\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+2x-48\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"48+=+2x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=24cm+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, the square pan is \"24cm\" by \"24cm\" and area is \"24cm%2A24cm=576cm%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The other pan is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-6%29\" by \"%28x%2B8%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2824-6%29\" by \"%2824%2B8%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"18cm\" by \"32cm\" (size of other pan)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and the area is \"18cm%2A32cm=576cm%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
