Hi,

A side of a squarehighlight%28s%29 is 10 meters longer than the sidehighlight%28x%29 of an equilateral triangle. 

If the perimeter of the triangle is 9 meters, find the perimeter of the square.

Question states***perimeter of the triangle is 9 meters

  3x = 9m

   x = 3m  

s = 3m + 10m = 13m

P%5BS%5D+=+4%2A13m+=+52m
