the perimeters of two squares are 60 meters and 144 meters respectively. find the perimeter of another square equal in area to the sum of the first two squares

Perimeter of new square =  156 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First square:

 Perimeter = 60 m

 4 * side = 60 m

side = 60/4

side = 15 m

Area of first square = side * side = 15 * 15 = 225 m²

Second square:

 Perimeter = 144 m

 4 * side = 144 m

side = 144/4

side = 36 m

Area of second square = side * side = 36 * 36 = 1296 m²

New square:

Area of new square = area of first square + area of second square

                                  = 225 + 129

Area of new square = 1521 m²

   side * side = 1521

    side = √1521 = √39*39

     side = 39 m

Perimeter of new square = 4 * 39 = 156 m
