Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+2b= 86 cm

a²+b²= 386 cm²

a+b=?

----------

  • 4a+2b= 86  
  • 2a+b= 43
  • (2a+b)²=43²
  • 4a²+4ab+b²=1849

b²= 386- a², b= 43- 2a

  • 4a²+4a(43-2a)+386-a²-1849=0
  • 4a²+172a-8a²-a²-1463=0
  • -5a²+172a-1463=0
  • 5a²-172a+1463=0

solving quadratic equation we get

a=19 - integer solution

b= 43-2*19= 5

a+b=19+5=24

1/4 of 24 inches means 1/4×24= 6 inches

1/3 of 24 inches, then 1/3×24= 8 inches
