we are given that ,
The combined area of two squares is 17 square meters.
Area of square=
Let the side length of smaller square be x
The size of the larger Square are four times as long as the size of the smaller square

So Area of larger square=
The combined Area is 17 square meter.

Hence the smaller square has the side length=
So the larger square has side length=
6.6. 2.2*3= 6.6
i hope this makes since
9.2 = x
100 59.95
cross multiply and get 551.54 divided by 100 which is 5.5154
