The shortest side would be "x" and the two equal sides would be represented with "2x"

With the perimeter being 36, you would insert the sides in this equation-

36/5x so, your "x" value would be 7.2

The shortest side would be 7.2, and the equal sides would both equal 14.4

I hope this was what you were asking!
