A piece of wire of length 12 cm was cut into two pieces. The first was folded to form an equilateral triangle, and from the second piece a square. If the length of the side of the square increases at a rate of 0.3 cm / min, find the amount of decrease in the length of the side of the triangle at the same instant.
