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 th
diamong [38]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the length of a side of the square is x.

Now, perimeter of square = 4 × side length

Perimeter of square = 4x

Also,we are told that the triangle is equilateral and a side is (x + 1).

Thus, perimeter of triangle = 3(x + 1)

Since we are told that the perimeter of the square is equal to that of the equilateral triangle. Thus;

4x = 3(x + 1)

4x = 3x + 3

Subtract 3x from both sides to get;

4x - 3x = 3

x = 3

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

  35% chose baseball or soccer

Step-by-step explanation:

  baseball or soccer = 20% + 15% = 35%

_____

The categories add to 100%, so are mutually exclusive, as you expect when they are "favorite sport" categories. Hence the union of two of them will be their sum. (Otherwise, you'd have to subtract the amount by which the categories overlap.)
