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

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\boxed{\red{6.25cm}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of an isosceles triangle is given as $\frac{43}{4} cm$

Perimeter means the sum of the lengths of all sides .

Let the third side be x .

$x+\frac{9}{4}+\frac{9}{4}=\frac{43}{4}\\\\\implies x+\frac{9+9}{4}=\frac{43}{4}\\\\\implies x+\frac{18}{4}=\frac{43}{4}\\\\\implies x=\frac{43}{4}-\frac{18}{4}\\\\\implies x=\frac{43-18}{4}\\\\\implies x=\frac{25}{4}\\\\\implies x=6.25$

Hence the third side is 6.25 cm .
