Question 1.
If the lengths of two sides of an isosceles triangle are 3 cm and 7 cm, then what is the lengths of the third side?
Solution:
2 sides of isosceles triangle are equal.
Also sum of two sides of triangle is always greater then 3rd side.
∴ The length of 3rd side = 7 cm
Question 2.

Solution:
6 cm
