Question

an equilateral triangle and a square have the same perimeter. each side of the square measures 6 cm. what is the length of each side of the triangle?

Answer 1

The square has 4 sides so 4*6cm= 24cm. So we now need to determine the sides of the triangle. We do this by taking 24cm and dividing it by 3 to find the lengths of the sides because the triangle is equilateral they will all be equal. 24/3=8. So each side of the triangle is 8cm.
