    Let the sides of the first and second square be X and Y .

    Area of the first square = (X)²

    Area of the second square = (Y)²

    According to question,

    (X)² + (Y)² = 468 m² ——(1).

    Perimeter of first square = 4 × X and Perimeter of second square = 4 × Y

    According to question,

    4X – 4Y = 24 ——–(2)

    From equation (2) we get,

    4X – 4Y = 244X–4Y=24

    4(X-Y) = 244(X−Y)=24

    X – Y = 24/4X–Y=24/4

    X – Y = 6X–Y=6

    X=6+Y———(3)

    Putting the value of X in equation (1)

    (X)² + (Y)² = 468(X)²+(Y)²=468

    = > (6+Y)² + (Y)² = 468

    = > (6)² + (Y)² + 2 × 6 × Y + (Y)² = 468

    = > 36 + Y² + 12Y + Y² = 468

    = > 2( Y² + 6Y – 216) = 0

    = > Y² + 6Y – 216 = 0

    = > Y² + 18Y – 12Y -216 = 0

    = > Y(Y+18) – 12(Y+18) = 0

    = > (Y+18) (Y-12) = 0

    Putting Y = 12 in EQUATION (3)

    X = 6+Y = 6+12 = 18X=6+Y=6+12=18

    Side of first square = X = 18 m

    Side of second square = Y = 12 m.

  2. Let the side of the first square be ‘a’m and that of the second be

    A

    m.

    Area of the first square =a

    2

    sq m.

    Area of the second square =A

    2

    sq m.

    Their perimeters would be 4a and 4A respectively.

    Given 4A−4a=24

    A−a=6 –(1)

    A

    2

    +a

    2

    =468 –(2)

    From (1), A=a+6

    Substituting for A in (2), we get

    (a+6)

    2

    +a

    2

    =468

    a

    2

    +12a+36+a

    2

    =468

    2a

    2

    +12a+36=468

    a

    2

    +6a+18=234

    a

    2

    +6a−216=0

    a

    2

    +18a−12a−216=0

    a(a+18)−12(a+18)=0

    (a−12)(a+18)=0

    a=12,−18
