Question 1151728: the sum of the area of two square 73 the sides of the second square are 5 yards longer than the sides of the first square what are the dimension of each square Answer by ikleyn(53751) (Show Source):
+ = 73
= 73
= 0
= 0
(x-3)*(x+8) = 0
Of the two root, x= 3 and x= -8, only positive x= 3 is the solution.
ANSWER. The sides are 3 yards and 8 yards.
CHECK. 3^2 + (3+5)^2 = 9 + 64 = 73. ! Correct !
