An automated machine takes any cardboard rectangle and cuts off a square whose side length is equal to the shorter side length of the rectangle. Peter had a rectangle and, using only the machine, got out of it 2 large squares, 3 medium squares, and 5 small squares whose side length is 10 cm. What were the dimensions of Peter's rectangle?
