The two sides of an isosceles triangle are 18 cm and 8 cm. Determine which one is the side of the triangle.

By the condition of the problem, a triangle is given.

It is known that its 2 sides are 18 and 8 centimeters long.

The fact that a given triangle is isosceles means that its two sides are equal to each other.

As you know, the sum of the values of the lengths of the two sides is greater than the length of the third side of the triangle.

8 + 8 ˂ 18, respectively, the length of the third side cannot be equal to 8 centimeters.

Therefore, the length of the third side is 18 cm.

Answer: the side is the side with a length of 18 centimeters.
