The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 68 cm, the lateral side is 20 cm, find the base.

Since the perimeter of an isosceles triangle consists of the length of its three sides, where 2 of them are 20 cm each, we find the third side by subtracting two lateral sides from the perimeter of the triangle:
68 – 20 – 20 = 68 – 40 = 28.
Answer: the base of the triangle is 28 cm.
