let the sides of isosceles triangle be x, (x + 6) and (x + 6). The perimeter of triangle is given as 42\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + (x + 6) + (x + 6) = 42
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 12 = 42
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x =10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sides of triangle are 10, 16, 16 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
