Answer:

Length of one piece = 6 cm

Length of second piece = 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Length of board = 22 cm

The board is divided into 2 pieces.

Let length of one piece = l

Length of second piece = 2l + 4

We need to find length of both pieces.

We can write the equation:

Total length = Length of one piece + Length od second piece

Putting values and finding length

[tex]22 = l+(2l+4)\\22=l+2l+4\\22=3l+4\\3l=22-4\\3l=18\\l=\frac{18}{3}\\l=6[/tex]

So, we get l= 6

Length of one piece = l =6 cm

Length of second piece = 2l + 4 = 2(6)+4 = 12+4 = 16 cm

Therefore,

Length of one piece = 6 cm

Length of second piece = 16 cm
