WRONG again Mr. bot
(total illogical answer !!!! If the entire piece is 47 cm, how can the longer be 60 cm ?????? )
-------------------------------------------------------
solution done by human:

shorter piece --- x
longer piece --- x+13

x + x+13 = 47
2x = 34
x = 17

short piece is 17 cm, the longer piece is 30 cm

The length of the longer piece is 60 in.
