Answer:

5 m

8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square = s² ; s = side length

Let the area of each room equal to x and y

x + y = 89cm²

If x = smaller room

y = x + 3 in dimension

Hence,

x² + (x + 3)² = 89

(x +3)(x +3) = x² + 3x + 3x + 9

x² + x² + 3x + 3x + 9 = 89

2x² + 6x + 9 = 89

2x² + 6x - 80 = 0

x² + 3x - 40 = 0

x² + 8x - 5x - 40 = 0

x(x + 8) - 5(x + 8) = 0

x + 8 = 0 ;

x - 5 = 0

x = - 8 or x = 5

Dimension can't be negative :

So, x = 5

Samller square = x = 5

Larger square = x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
