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.

<span>The answer is that the fraction of 1/2 pint is 1 cup. To solve this you must know the equivalence between pints and cups, and use the notion of proportions. Two cups equal one pint. Then you can state this proportion: 1 pint / 2 cups = x pint / 1 cup. When you solve for x you get: x = 1/2. Which means that 1 cup is 1/2 of 1 pint. </span>
