Answer:
56 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the lengths of the pieces is 3:4.
The longer piece is 32 cm.
We set up a proportion to find the length of the smaller piece.
Let the length of the smaller piece be x.
3 is to 4 as x is to 32
3/4 = x/32
4x = 3 * 32
4x = 96
x = 24
The smaller piece is 24 cm.
24 cm + 32 cm = 56 cm
It factors to (x+12)(x-12)
This is the same as (x-12)(x+12) as we can multiply two expressions in any order we want. This is like saying 7*5 is the same as 5*7
I used the difference of squares rule to factor x^2 - 144. It might help to write x^2 - 144 as x^2 - 12^2, then compare it to a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
The answer would be 13.3333333 or just 13.33
