Answer:

shorter piece: 2 feet

longer piece: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter piece be x

then the longer piece will be 3x + 2

<u>if they join together</u>:

  • 3x + 2 + x = 10
  • 4x + 2 = 10
  • 4x = 10 -2
  • 4x = 8
  • x = 2

<u>Longer piece</u>:

  • 3x + 2
  • 3(2)+2
  • 8 feet
