Question 209699: A piece of wire was cut into pieces. One was bent into a square and the other was bent into a equiliteral triangle. One side of the equilateral triangle has the same whole-number length (in cm) as one side of the square. If the length of the original piece of wire is more than 21 cm and less than 50 cm, find all possible measurements for the sides of the figures.

Let x = size of sides
.
square has 4 equal sides, and triangle has 3,,,total sides =7
.
21<7x<50,,,,,,,,dividing each by 7
.
3 less than x less than 7.14,,,,,,,or each side is larger than 3 but less than 7.14.
