Solution
Vamos resolver o problema passo a passo.
-
Definindo as variáveis:
- Seja o comprimento total do fio antes de ser cortado.
- Quando o fio é dobrado para formar um quadrado, o perímetro do quadrado é igual ao comprimento do fio.
-
Formando o primeiro quadrado:
- O perímetro do quadrado é .
- Cada lado do quadrado é .
- A área do primeiro quadrado é .
-
Cortando 4 cm do fio:
- O comprimento restante do fio é .
-
Formando o segundo quadrado:
- O perímetro do segundo quadrado é .
- Cada lado do segundo quadrado é .
- A área do segundo quadrado é .
-
Diferença entre as áreas dos quadrados:
- A diferença entre as áreas dos quadrados é cm².
- Portanto, temos a equação:
-
Simplificando a equação:
- Multiplicamos ambos os lados da equação por 16 para eliminar o denominador:
- Expandimos :
- Simplificamos a equação:
- Resolvemos para :
Portanto, o comprimento do fio antes de ser cortado era de 52 cm.
