Patricia purchased x meters of fencing. She originally intended to use all ofthe fencing to enclose a square region, but later decided to use all of the fencing to enclose a rectangular region with length y meters greater than its width. In square meters, what is the positive difference between the area of the square region and the area of the rectangular region?
(1)xy=256
(2)y=4
Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
假设长方形长为m, 宽为n,根据题干可以得1) m+n = x/2, 2) m-n=y
移向得到m=x/4 + y/2, n=x/4-y/2
求(x/4)^2-mn 把数字带进去发现可以把x消掉,变成y^2/4,所以只要知道y就可以知道答案
