Question 1192930
A piece of wire is cut and 2 squares are formed. The total are of both squares is 65 cm2. What’s the perimeter of each square?
--------------
If the areas are equal:
Area of each square = 32.5 sq cms
Each side is sqrt(32.5) cms
Perimeter = 4*sqrt(32.5) cms
---------------
If they're not equal, then an infinite # of solutions are possible.
