23cm,
16cm ,
37cm

Answer 1

Answer:

44 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So, it is asking what the bigger piece of the 60 cm board is. First you can divide it into two even pieces. That makes each piece 30 cm. but, it wants one of the two 14 cm bigger, right? So, now your going to add 14 cm to 30 cm, giving you 44 cm. But, if you do that then you will have to subtract 14 cm from the other board. That leaves you with the bigger board is 44 cm, and the smaller one is 16 cm.
