Let each of the equal side = x
Now , the third side = x+7
Perimeter = 34 cm
Sum of all sides = 34
x+x+x+7 = 34
3x=34-7
3x=27
x=27/3
x=9
Each of the equal side = x=9 cm
x=9 cm
x+7 = 9+7 = 16 cm .
The required sides of the triangle = 9,9,16 cm .
Perimeter is the sum of all sides .
Now , the third side = x+7
Perimeter = 34 cm
Sum of all sides = 34
x+x+x+7 = 34
3x=34-7
3x=27
x=27/3
x=9
Each of the equal side = x=9 cm
x=9 cm
x+7 = 9+7 = 16 cm .
The required sides of the triangle = 9,9,16 cm .
Perimeter is the sum of all sides .

HEY MATE !!!!!!!!!
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER !!!
As in isosceles triangle , 2 sides are equal so let in triangle ABC , AB=AC =x
the third side is 7 cm more , so BC = x+7
PERIMETER = sum of all sides
34cm = AB + BC+AC
34 = x +x+x+7
27=3x
x = 9cm
AB=AC=X=9cm
while , BC = x+7 = 16cm
hope it helps !!!
thnx :}
