Let sides be x, 3x+2,3x+2
Totally 7x+4=67
7x=63
x=9
Therfore sides are 9cm,29cm and 29cm
Totally 7x+4=67
7x=63
x=9
Therfore sides are 9cm,29cm and 29cm

Let the third side be a, and,
The equal sides be b,
According to the Question,
b = 3a + 2 cm,
We know that ,
Perimeter of Triangle = Sum of all sides of the Triangle,
Here the perimeter of this triangle is a + b + b cm,
=> a + 3a + 2 + 3a + 2 cm,
=> 7a + 4 cm,
According to the question, The perimeter is 67 cm, So let's equal them,
=> 7a + 4 =67 cm, Subtract 4 on both sides,
=> 7a = 63, Divide 7 on Both sides,
=> a = 9 cm,
Now, b = 27 + 2 = 29 cm cm, Since it is isosceles and we considered the two sides as b then , The other side is also 29 cm,
Therefore the lengths of the sides of the Triangle are 9 cm , 29 cm, 29 cm,
