Square sides

If the square side increases by 28%, the square circumference increases by 11.2 meters. Find the length of the original square side.

Correct answer:

a =  10 m

Step-by-step explanation:


4·(a+28/100a) = 11.2 + 4·a

4·(a+28/100·a) = 11.2 + 4·a

112a = 1120


a = 1120/112 = 10

a = 10
