Dividing rod

The 3m long rod should be divided into two parts so that one is 16cm longer than the other. Find the lengths of both parts.

Correct answer:

a =  1.58 m
b =  1.42 m

Step-by-step explanation:

x=3 m y=16 cm m=16:100  m=0.16 m  s=2x=23=1.5 m Δ=2y=20.16=252=0.08 m  a=s+Δ=1.5+0.08=1.58 m
