If the perimeter of the triangle is equal to the perimeter of the square then the length of a side of the square is ?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Assuming a regular triangle. Triangle: PT = 3S (S = Side of triangle) Square: PS = 4s (s = side of squaere) PT = PS (perimeter of triangle = perimeter of square), so 4s = 3S Divide both sides by 4, s = (3/4)S
A. 7 B. 13 C.26 D.. 52
Was there a drawing with a triangle and a square and the lengths of something given? Without knowing any specific information, there isn't any more we can do.
yes there was
do anyone know the answer
How can anyone know the answer? This is like asking the following question: One segment is half the length of another segement. What is the length of the shorter segment?
ok one side of the triangle is 16 the other 4x - 3 then 3x the square 2x then 2x
Ok, then forget what we wrote above about the sides of the traingle and the square. The perimeter of the triangle is 16 + 4x - 3 + 3x The perimeter of the square is 4(2x) Since the two perimeters are equal, then 16 + 4x - 3 + 3x = 4(2x) Now you need to solve for x. The the length of the side of the square is 2x
thank you
16 + 4x - 3 + 3x = 4(2x) 13 + 7x = 8x 13 = x x = 13, so 2x = 26, which is the length of the side of the square.
ok thx
