The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 4 inches more than the perimeter of a​ square, and the side of the triangle is 4 inches longer than the side of the square. Find the side of the triangle.​

Answer 1

side of the triangle = 12 inches

side of the square = 8 inches

12 is 4 more than 8

perimeter of the square = 4(8) =32 inches

perimeter of the triangle = 3(12) = 36 inches

36 is 4 more than 32

Let T= side of the triangle and S = side of the square

3T = 4S+4

T=S+4

3(S+4) = 4S+4

3S+12 = 4S +4

4S-3S = S = 12-4 = 8

T =8+4 = 12
