Let the sides be:
The perimeters of the figures are equal, which leads to:
#4a=3b#
If we divide both sides by
#b/a=4/3#
Explanation:
Explanation:
They both have the same perimeter.
Set the total length of the perimeter as
The triangle side length is
The square side length is
So the ratio is
Set
Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms
