The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 cm while its equal sides together measure 18 cm. Find the length of the other side

An isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides and 1 different side.

The perimeter is 32 cm and the 2 equal sides together measure 18 cm.

---

The perimeter of a triangle is all three sides added together:

Perimeter = Equal side + Equal side + Third side

This can be written as:

Perimeter = (Both equal sides together) + Third side

---

Substituting the known values:

$32 = 18 + \text{Third side}$

$\text{Third side} = 32 - 18$

$\text{Third side} = 14$

Therefore, the length of the other side is 14 cm.
