A wire 22 cm long is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 4 cm longer than the shorter piece. Find the length of the shorter piece of wire

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation: L = longer piece S = shorter piece

L + S = 22

L = 4 + S

S + S + 4 = 22
-4 -4
S + S = 18

S = 18/2 = 9 cm

L = 4 + S —> 4 + 9 = 13 cm

To confirm:

13 cm + 9 cm = 22 cm

Therefore, the shorter piece is 9 cm.
