The length of one side of an isosceles triangle is 28 cm and its perimeter is 80 cm. Find the lengths of the other

The length of one side of an isosceles triangle is 28 cm and its perimeter is 80 cm. Find the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle.

To calculate the two sides of an isosceles triangle, if the problem statement says that one side of an isosceles triangle is 28 centimeters, and the perimeter of this triangle is 80 centimeters.

We know that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of the sides of the triangle, and we also know that in an isosceles triangle, the two sides are equal, so we need to subtract one given side from the perimeter of the triangle, and divide the result of the calculation by (2).

1) 80 – 28 = 52;

2) 52: 2 = 26.
