उत्तर

Given sides of two sides are x cm and (x + 4) cm.

Sum of areas of two squares = 656 cm2

=> x2 + (x + 4)2 = 656      ...[∵ Area of square = s2 sq units]

=> x2 + x2 + 8x + 16 − 656 = 0

=> 2x2 + 8x − 640 = 0

=> x2 + 4x − 320 = 0

=> x2 + 20x − 16x − 320 = 0

=> x(x + 20) − 16(x + 20) = 0

=>(x + 20)(x − 16) = 0

=> x + 20 = 0 or x − 16 = 0

∴ x = -20 or x = 16

Hence x = 16 since the side of the square cannot be negative

x + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20

Therefore the sides of two squares are 16 cm and 20 cm.
