A square and an equilateral triangle have the same perimeter. Each side of the triangle is 4 inches longer than each side of the square. What is the perimeter of the square

48 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A square and an equilateral triangle have the same perimeter

Each side of the triangle is 4 inches longer than each side of the square.

To find:

What is the perimeter of the square = ?

Solution:

Let side of square be

Then side of triangle will be

Perimeter of square = Perimeter of equilateral triangle

=

Subtracting both side by

side of square, = 12 inches

side of triangle will be , 12 + 4 = 16 inches

Now,  perimeter of the square =

                                                     = inches

Therefore, perimeter of the square is 48 inches.
