Aswer:  9 /  4  sqrt 3

Solution:

Perimeter: P=9 inch

Area: A=?

A=(1/4) sqrt(3) L^2

Side of the triangle: L

We need the side "L" of the triangle:

We know: P=3 L

Replacing the perimeter in the equation above:

9 inch=3 L

Solving for L: Dividing both sides of the equation above by 3:

(9 inch) / 3 = 3 L /3

3 inch = L

L = 3 inch

Replacing L=3 inch in the formula of Area:

A=(1/4) sqrt(3) L^2

A=(1/4) sqrt(3) (3 inch)^2

Squaring:

A=(1/4) sqrt(3) (9 inch^2)

Multiplying:

A=(1*9)/4 sqrt(3) inch^2

A=9/4 sqrt(3) inch^2

answer: -2+√x,-2-√x

i hope this , i don't know if you're looking for a pair or not.
