The isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 7. 5 m. Which equation can be used to find the value of x if the shortest side, y, measures 2. 1 m? 2 x minus 2. 1 equals 7. 5 4. 2 plus y equals 7. 5 y minus 4. 2 equals 7. 5 2. 1 plus 2 x equals 7. 5.

Respuesta :

Using the perimeter formula of the Isosceles triangle the equation 2x + 2.1 = 7.5 is derived. The correct option is D.

What is the isosceles triangle?

Triangle is a polygon that has three sides. The sum of the angle of the triangle is 180 degrees. The two sides of the triangle are equal.

Given

The isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 7.5 m.

We know the perimeter of the Isosceles triangle.

Perimeter = Sum of all sides of the triangle

Let the sides be x and y and

And let y be the shortest side.

For y = 2.1 m, the equation will be

[tex]\rm Perimeter = x + x +y\\[/tex]

On simplifying the equation, we get

2x + 2.1 = 7.5

The required equation is 2x + 2.1 = 7.5.

Thus, option D is correct.
