There can be 2 cases in this question:
1. If the second side is equal to the first side, then second side = 6 cm and the third side is equal to 6/2 = 3 cm
So, the sides are 6 cm, 6 cm, 3 cm.
2. If the third side is equal to the third side, then the third side = 6 cm and the second side is equal to 6*2 = 12 cm
So, the sides are 6 cm, 6 cm, 12 cm.
But due to the property of inequality of sides, which states that the sum of 2 sides must be greater than the 3rd side, isn't satisfied, as 6 + 6 = 12 cm, whereas it should be greater than the 3rd side.
So, this case isn't possible.
So, the sides of the triangle are 6 cm, 6 cm and 3 cm.
