Question

A square has the area of 25 square inches. What is that perimeter of a triangle with all equal sides if each of its sides is twice as long as the side of the square?

Answer 1

Answer: 30 inches

Explanation:

The sides of the square are equal and so if the area is 25 inch², each side can be acquired by square rooting that figure:

= √25

= 5 inch per side for the square

Each side of the triangle is twice as long as a side of the square:

= 5 * 2

= 10 inches

There are three sides to a triangle so the perimeter is:

= 10 * 3

= 30 inches
