Hello!
I have some work due shortly on overlapping squares and I'm stuck on a certain problem. The question asks, "The overlap of two squares has area 12cm(square). The perimeter of the final shape is 30cm. Find all possible sizes of the two squares." i have tried a few different combinations and keep getting stuck with a wrong answer. There are a few things you must follow, squares cannot be 1cmx1cm in size, and that the grid lines of both squares must coincide.
Also, this is my first post
Thanks in advance
