You can put this solution on YOUR website! the perimeter of a square piece of land is twice the perimeter of an equilateral triangular lot.
If one side of the square is 60 meters, find the length of a side of the triangle.
:
Let s = side of the triangle
2(3s) = 4(60)
6s = 240
s = 240/6
s = 40 meters
