A triangle and a square have the same perimeter; the sides of the square are 3 cm.

A triangle and a square have the same perimeter; the sides of the square are 3 cm. What is the length of the sides of the triangle?

The formula for the perimeter of a square is: P1 = 4 * a, where a is the side of the square.

Equilateral triangle perimeter formula: P2 = 3 * b, where b is the side of the triangle.

By the condition of the problem, P1 = P2, that is, 4 * a = 3 * b.

Let us express the side of the triangle from here: b = 4 * a / 3 = 4 * 3 cm / 3 = 4 cm.
