Question 479676: a wire of length 200 cm is cut into two parts and each part is bent to form a square. if the area of the larger square is 9 times that of the smaler square, find the perimeter of the larger square Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let side of smaller square be x
area = x^2
Area of larger square = 9x^2
so the side of larger square = 3x
4*3x+4*x=200
16x=200
x= 12.5 cm
length of larger square = 3x=> 37.5 cm
