Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the side of the square be x
Perimeter of the square = 4x
Let the sides of the triangle be s1, s2 and s3
If each side of the triangle is 3 inches longer than each side of the square, then
s1 = x+3
s2 = x+3
s3 = x+ 3
Perimeter of the triangle P = s1+s2 + s3
If the square and thr triangle have the same perimeter then;
perimeter of square = perimeter of triangle
4x = s1+s2+s3
4x = x+3+ x+3+ x+3
4x = 3(x+3)
Hence the required equation is 4x = 3(x+3) where x is the side of the square.
