Let x be the side of the triangle. Thus 4(x-5) is the perimeter of the square.
Balance by the perimeter relation,
3x = 7+4(x-5)
Solve for x,
x = 13 inches

A square and an equilateral triangle each have a perimeter of 72 cm. How much longer is one side of the triangle than one side of the square?
You see you can do is 72cm divide by 3 because an equilateral triangle has 3 sides 72cm/3 = 24cm (I am not sure if this is right)
A square has a perimeter that is 3 cm longer than the perimeter of an equilateral triangle the side of the triangle is 112 cm longer than that of the square?
Suppose the side of the square is x cm.Then its perimeter is 4x cm.The perimeter of the square is 3 cm more than that of the triangleso the perimeter of the triangle is 4x - 3 cm.Also, if the side of the square is x cm, the side of the triangle must be x + 112 cm.Then its perimeter must be 3*(x + 112) = 3x = 336 cm.Equating the two expressions for the perimeter of the triangle,4x - 3 = 3x + 336therefore x = 339 cm.The square has sides of 339 cm and a perimeter of 1356 cm.The triangle has sides of 451 cm and a perimeter of 1353 cm.
First side of triangle is 2 inches shorter than the second the third side is 5 inches longer than the second if the perimeter is 33 inches how long is each side?

Can the median of an equilateral triangle be longer than its altitude?
For the equilateral triangle in Euclidean space(i.e, the triangles you see in general) median is the same as its altitude. So, both are of equal length.
A right triangle has one leg three times as long as the other Find a function that models its perimeter P in terms of the length x of the shorter leg?
The perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of the triangle. If the shorter leg is x, the longer leg is 3x. The hypotenuse is then the square root of x^2 + 3x^2, or 2x. Then the perimeter is x + 3x + 2x, simplified, f(x) = 6x.
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 45 inches.A rectangle whose width is 1-3 its length has a perimeter of 48 inches.Which figure has the longest side and why?
a rectangle as a longer side because there's 48 inches for a rectangle but there's only 45 inches for a triangle. a rectangle as a longer side because there's 48 inches for a rectangle but there's only 45 inches for a triangle.
What is the perimeter of a triangle that has a area of 6.5 cm?
The minimum perimeter is when the triangle is an equilateral triangle. The perimeter of any other triangle with the same area will be longer. In the case of an equilateral triangle area = (√3)/4 × side² → side = √(4×6.5 cm²/√3) → perimeter = 3 × side = 3 × √(4×6.5 cm²/√3) ≈ 11.62 cm → The triangle has a perimeter greater than or equal to approx 11.62 cm.
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 90 inches If a pentagon were constructed with each side being 2 inches longer than each side of the triangle how many inches would the total perimeter of?
Solve the problem in stages:Solve for the length of the triangle side.Perimeter = sum of all the sides. As equilateral, all sides equal so 3 x side_length = 90 inside_length = 90in / 3 = 30in.Pentagon side is triangle_side + 2in, thus Pentagon_side = 30in + 2in = 32inThere are 5 sides to a pentagon, each 32in long, so its perimeter is 5 x 32in = 160in.

Longest side of a triangle is 4 inches longer than the shortest side the remaining sides is 2 inches longer than the shortest side The perimeter of the triangle is 24 inches what the long side?
x+4+x+2+x = 24 3x+6 = 24 3x = 24-6 3x = 18 x = 6 longest side = 10 inches
The perimeter of a triangle is 57 the first side is twice the length of the second side the third side is seven more than the second side what is the length of each side?
the perimeter of a triangle is 86 inches. the largest side is four inches less than twice the smallest side. the third side is 10 inches longer than the smallest side. what is the length of each side?
Can a right angle triangle ever be equilateral?
No it can't. The hypotenuse of a right triangle will always be longer than either one of the other two sides.
