The perimeter of the square is 2cm longer than the perimeter of the triangle.Write an equation for the perimeter of the square and then determine the length of each side of the square.

Thank you in advance.

let P be the perimeter of the triangle, S be the perimeter of the square.

S-2=P
but 4*side=S
4side-2=P
side=(P+2)/4

a(0,1),b(3,4)

Perimeter practice worksheet answers

To find the equation for the perimeter of the square, we need to understand the properties of squares and triangles.

Let's assume:
- The perimeter of the square is represented by P_s
- The perimeter of the triangle is represented by P_t
- The length of each side of the square is represented by s
- The lengths of the three sides of the triangle are represented by a, b, and c

The perimeter of a square is given by the formula: P_s = 4 * s
The perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula: P_t = a + b + c

Given that the perimeter of the square is 2 cm longer than the perimeter of the triangle, we can set up the equation:

P_s = P_t + 2

Substituting the formulas for the perimeters, we have:
4s = a + b + c + 2

Since the triangle has three sides, we need more information (such as side lengths, angles, or additional equations) to determine the lengths of its sides. Without this additional information, it is not possible to calculate the length of each side of the square.
