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

(7.5-2.1) /2

If the shortest side measures 2.1 m.

7.5-2.1 =5.4. Then divide by 2 each side is 2.7m

The equation for finding the value of x is 2x + 2.1 = 7.5 and the value of x is 2.7 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the isosceles triangle = 7.5 m

Length of the shortest side = 2.1 m

Let the length of each of the other sides of the triangle = x meter

Then the equation for the perimeter of the triangle becomes:

Sum of 3 sides f the triangle = 7.5 m

=> 2*x + 2.1 = 7.5

=> 2*x = 7.5 - 2.1 = 5.4

=> x = 5.4/2 = 2.7 m

So the relevant equation for finding the value of x is 2x + 2.1 = 7.5 and the value of x is 2.7 m.
