Question #3b3b7

Answer 1

`36 = 5x`

Explanation:

Here, let us designate the length of the shortest side as `x`. Because the other two sides are congruent, and each is double the length of the shortest side, each would be represented as `2x`.

The perimeter is the sum of a figure's side measures. To calculate the perimeter:

`P = a+b+c`

`36 = x + 2x + 2x`

`36 = 5x`

If you solve this, you will get the value

`x = "7.2 in"`

The other sides will have a measure of `"14.4 in"`. Multiply `7.2` by `5` to check your answer, and it will be `36`.
