  1. Let the side of one square be x
    Perimeter of this square = 4x
    Given, Difference of perimeter of 2 squares = 64 m
    Thus, Perimeter of the other square = (64 + 4x) m
    And, each side of this second square = = (16 +x) m
    According to the problem, sum of the areas of two squares is 640
    x^2+(16+x)^2=640
    x^2+256+32x+x^2=640
    2x^2+256+32x-640=0
    2x^2+32x-384=0
    x^2+16x-192=0
    x(x+24)-8(x+24)=0
    (x+24)(x-8)=0
    x=-24,8
    Since side of a square cannot be negative, each side of the square = 8 m.
    And, each side of second square = (16+8) m = 24 m
