    Let the two parts with equal length have length x.

    The longer part has length x + 20.

    The sum of the three lengths is 695 m.

    x + x + x + 20 = 695

    3x + 20 = 695

    3x = 675

    x = 225

    x + 20 = 245

    The two short parts measure 225 m, and the long part measures 245 m.
