Two of the sides are equal length and one side, the base is different.

Let b be the base length, and h be the height.
Let p be perimeter.
Let A be the area.
Let x be either of the two equal length sides.

You are interested in solving for x.
Solve for x, in symbolic form.

Now, do the substitutions and evaluate:
p=256
A=3072
h=64
