The perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle. The length of a side of the square is given by x, and the length of a side of the equilateral triangle is given by x=1. Which equation can be used to find the value of x?
I hope this helps you
perimeter of square =4x
4x=equilateral triangle perimeter
4x=3.1
x=3/4
Answer:
The length of a side of the square is given by x
The length of a side of the equilateral triangle is given by x=1
Given is : The perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle.
Perimeter of square is given as 4 x side.
Perimeter of equilateral triangle is given as 3 x side.
So, we will make both equal.
\(4x=3x\)
As x = 1 for triangle, the equation becomes:
\(4x=3\)
So, \(x=3/4\)
