One side of an equilateral triangle is four yards less than the side of a square. The perimeter of the triangle is twenty-eight yards shorter than the perimeter of the square. Find the length of the sides of the triangle and square.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! s=S-4
p=P-28
4*(S-4)=P-28
3s=p
or
s=S-4, p=P-28, 3*s=p, 4S=P
p = 36, P = 64, s = 12, S = 16
3*12=36
4*16=64
s=Triangle side=12
S=square side =16
