Question 937851: The perimeter of the small square is one third the perimeter of the large square. What are the side lengths of the squares? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! perimeter of large square:
pa = 2x + 2y
---
perimeter of small square:
pb = pa/3
pb = (2x + 2y)/3
pb = 2(x/3) + 2(y/3)
---
answer:
if the large square has side lengths x and y
then the small square has side lengths x/3 and y/3
