The perimeter of a square is (2w+2) highlight%28cross%28cam%29%29 cm shorter than the perimeter of the triangle.
What is the length of each side of the square in terms of w
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The condition says

4s = P - (2w+2),

where P is the perimeter of the triangle (the value of P is not given !).

Then s = P%2F4 - %28w%2B1%29%2F2.

It is the answer to your question.
