Answer:

33cm ; 53 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of one piece = x cm

Length of the other piece = (x + 20) cm

x + ( x+ 20) = 86 cm

x + x + 20  = 86

     2x + 20 = 86

              2x = 86- 20

             2x = 66

               x = 66/2

                x = 33 cm

Length of the longer piece = x + 20 = 33 +20 = 53 cm
