Answer:16.

Step-by-step explanation: We will call the length of the shorter piece x.

The other side will now be 22 - x.

One piece is 4 cm longer than twice the length of the shorter piece, so 4 + 2x.

Then we have: 22 - x = 2x + 4.

Now just solve for x!

22 - x = 2x + 4

18 = 3x

6 = x, which is the shorter piece.

As before, 22 - x is the longer piece, and since we have x, just plug in for x.

22 - 6 = 16.
