Answer:
x=2.5
y=10
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you have the same question as me on mathswatch.
First, do 6 divided by 5. This gets you 1.2.
Then do 3 divided by 1.2 to find the length of x.
To find y, you have to do 3 divided by 5, this gets you 0.6
Divide 6 by 0.6 to get your answer of 10.
I hope this helps and is not too late :)
could you type what you see instead? its still unclear
Let length of shortest side be x
then length of each congruent sides = x + 1
perimeter of the triangle = x + x+1 +x + 1 = 3x + 2
perimeter of the square = 4(x-2) = 4x - 8
So we have
4x - 8 = 3x + 2
x = 10
the shortest side is 10 units long.
