$\sf Let \: the \: third \: side \: be \: x. \\ \\ \because \sf x + \frac{9}{4} + \frac{9}{4} = \frac{4 3 }{4} \\ \\ \to \sf x + \frac{18}{4} = \frac{43}{4} \\ \\ \sf \to x = \frac{43}{4} - \frac{18}{4} \\ \\ \sf \to x = \frac{25}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge{\text{\red{6.25\:cm}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is the length of the boundaries of the figure .

It is given that one of the sides measure 9/4 cm .

The isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 equal sides .

Hence let the length of the side ( third one ) = x .

$\therefore x+\frac{9}{4}+\frac{9}{4}=\frac{43}{4}\\\\\implies x+\frac{9+9}{4}=\frac{43}{4}\\\\\implies x+\frac{18}{4}=\frac{43}{4}\\\\\implies x=\frac{43}{4}-\frac{18}{4}\\\\\implies x=\frac{25}{4}$

Thus the third side is 25/4 cm = 6.25 cm .
