Algebra Homework Help

Hi!

I have a question I need help with, and was wondering if anybody could help me?

An isosceles triangle and a square have the same perimeter.

Find the side lengths of the triangle.

 

Given: 2x + 1 and 3x as the side lengths of the triangle and 4 as one side length of the square.

 

Thank you so much, again!

1) Find the perimeter of the square.

2.  Find the perimeter of the triangle in terms of x and put it equal to the perimeter ofthe square.

3.  Solve the equation. :)

 

You have said it is an isosceles triange but you have not said which side length is the repeated one.  

I am supposing that you know the answer to that :))

Givewit a go - you can probably do it by yourself now :)
