Chapter 4.4, Problem 27MS

XY-tiles. The trapezoidal tile on the left has one short side and three equal- length long sides. The tile on the right is a rectangle whose long and short sides are the same lengths as the corresponding long and short sides of the trapezoid. Let x denote the length of the short sides and y denote the length of the long sides. Suppose the perimeter of the trapezoid is 32.5 inches and the perimeter of the rectangle is 25 inches. Find the lengths of the sides of both tiles.
