Question 3511
The longer rod is 42 cm and the shorter rod is 10 cm long.

To solve this equation, first you need to half the total length, 52 cm. You get 26. Then, half the difference between their lengths, 32 cm. to get 16. Add 16 to 26 to find the longer dowel's length and subtract 16 from 26 to find the shorter dowel's length.

Check:
{{{42 + 10 = 52}}}
{{{42 - 10 = 32}}}<p><marquee behavior="alternate">Solved By: NtNk</marquee>
