An isosceles triangle has at least two equal sides (an equilateral has three equal sides and is a special kind of isosceles).
------------------------
Since we know it has two equal sides and the problem tells us the bale is 20 and the perimeter is 70:
70-20 = 50; 50/2 = 25 this is the length of each side.
