Answer:
7cm, 14cm & 14cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the third side be 'x'.
Given, perimeter of the triangle = 35cm, and that one isosceles side = 2x.
Therefore, perimeter of triangle = sum of all three sides = x + 2x + 2x = 5x.
But, perimeter = 35 (given). Thus, 5x = 35, implies x = 7.
Therefore, the lengths of each side of the triangle are : x, 2x & 2x or 7cm, 14cm & 14cm.
