Answer:
The length of each side of the large square is 6 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = the length of the sides of the smaller square, x>0
2x = the length of the side of the larger square
The combined area of two squares is 45 square centimeters:
x^2 + (2x)^2 = 45
x = 3 cm
2x = 2*3 = 6 cm
The length of each side of the large square is 6 cm.
