SIDE LENGTH OF TRIANGLE: 2.14 inches
SIDE LENGTH OF HEXAGON: 6 inches
To solve this problem, we know that the shapes have equal sides as it states “equilateral triangle”. A triangle has 3 sides and a hexagon has 6 sides. We are told the perimeters are the same so you can set their perimeters equal to each other to solve for x. You would get this : 3(1.4x + 2) = 6(0.5x +2)
With basic algebra you would get x= 5
Then you substitute that value into the length sides of the triangle and hexagon. For the triangle you would approx get 2.14 inches and for the hexagon 6 inches

Before we get started, it is good to remember PEMDAS - the acronym that tells you the order to carry out equations.
P = parentheses
E = exponents
M = multiplication
D = division
A = addition
S = subtraction
Knowing this, we should start by doing the equations <em>within </em>each parentheses.
So we did the addition and subtraction pieces within each group leaving us with the above equation. Now let's multiply:
20 is the answer.
