Let s represent the short side of the triangle. The long sides of the triangle are each s+1, and the triangle's perimeter is
... s + (s+1) + (s+1) = 3s+2
The length of one side of the square is s-2, and its perimeter is 4 times that, 4(s-2) = 4s-8. The square and triangle have the same perimeter, so
... 3s+2 = 4s-8
... 10 = s . . . . . . . . add 8-3s to both sides
The length of the shorter side of the triange is 10 units.

Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 294√3
Explanation:
1) The described hexagon has these featrues:
a) 6 congruent equilateral triangles whose side lengths measure 14
b) height of each triangle = apotema = a
c) the area of each triangle is base × a / 2 = 14 × a / 2 = 7a
2) a is one leg of a right triangle whose other leg is 14 / 2 = 7, and the hypotenuse is 14.
3) Then you can use Pythagorean theorem fo find a:
14² = 7² + a² ⇒ a² = 14² - 7² = 147 ⇒ a = √ 147 = 7√3
4) Therefore, the area of one triangle is: 14 × 7√3 / 2 = 49√3
5) And the area of the hexagon is 6 times that: 6 × 49√3 = 294√3
