Answer:
Length of one piece = 6 cm
Length of second piece = 16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Length of board = 22 cm
The board is divided into 2 pieces.
Let length of one piece = l
Length of second piece = 2l + 4
We need to find length of both pieces.
We can write the equation:
Total length = Length of one piece + Length od second piece
Putting values and finding length
[tex]22 = l+(2l+4)\\22=l+2l+4\\22=3l+4\\3l=22-4\\3l=18\\l=\frac{18}{3}\\l=6[/tex]
So, we get l= 6
Length of one piece = l =6 cm
Length of second piece = 2l + 4 = 2(6)+4 = 12+4 = 16 cm
Therefore,
Length of one piece = 6 cm
Length of second piece = 16 cm
