Question

a square and a equilateral triangle have the same perimeter the perimeter of the triangles is 12(z-2)cm.the perimeter of the square is 4x cm find the perimeter of each figure by writing and solving an equation for the variable of x. what is the value of x​

Answer 1

As both perimeters are equal equate them

• 12(x-2)=4x
• 12x-24=4x
• 8x=24
• x=3

Answer 2

• x = 3

Explanation:

The perimeters are equal:

• 12(x - 2) = 4x

Solve for x:

• 12x - 24 = 4x
• 12x - 4x = 24
• 8x = 24
• x = 3
