We know that in an isosceles triangle two of the sides are equal
So , let the equal sides be x
Now,
Perimeter = x + x + 20
=> 50 = 2x + 20
=> 30 = 2x
=> x = 15°

Step-by-step explanation:
As the Triangle is isosceles, two sides will be equal to each other.
Let unknown side = xcm
Base = 20cm
So Perimeter of Triangle = Sum of All sides
50 = x + x +20
50 = 2x + 20
50-20 = 2x
30 = 2x
30/2 = x
x = 15cm
So 1st and 2nd side = 15cm
