Answer: The length of one side of the triangular-shaped walking path is 330 feet.

Explanation:

The perimeter of the triangular-shaped walking path is 990 feet, and the length of one side is represented by x. We can write an equation to find x using the formula for the perimeter of a triangle:

P = a + b + c

Where P is the perimeter, and a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle. Since one of the sides is represented by x, the equation can be written as:

990 = x + x + x

Simplifying the equation, we can find the value of x:

990 = 3x

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

330 = x

So the length of one side of the triangular-shaped walking path is 330 feet.

To figure out the answer, first find the perimeter of the rectangle (10+10+12+12 = 44). Now that we know the perimeter of the rectangle, and that the square has the same perimeter, we can divide 44/4, to get 11. Now that we know the side length of the square, we can do 11 x 11 = 121.
