If Y was the height of the triangle, and X was the width of the square at the bottom; wouldn't the perimeter be the same? 2X + 2Y should be the same as the total perimeter of the blue object right? <br /><br />Well I got X to be 0.464 because the total height of the Triangle (Y) should equal X + the height of the smaller triangle at the top.<br /><br />And I got Y to be 0.866 because 0.5 * tan(60 degrees) = sqrt(3)/2 or .866.<br /><br />The final answer I got was 2.66.. Can someone show me where I might have screwed up?sixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500033298667240354.post-58301571635079391222009-10-30T09:22:55.841-07:002009-10-30T09:22:55.841-07:00We have a different answer.
