Answer:

The parts are 27 cm and 64 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter part be x.

"The longer part is 10 cm more than twice as long as the shorter part."

shorter part: x

longer part: 2x + 10

total length: x + 2x + 10

total length: 91

x + 2x + 10 = 91

3x + 10 = 91

3x = 81

x = 27

2x + 10 = 2(27) + 10 = 54 + 10 = 64

Answer: The parts are 27 cm and 64 cm long.
