Answer: the length of each of the two equal sides is 25 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of each of the two equal sides. This means that the total length of the two longer sides is 2x.

Let y represent the length of the third side.

The perimeter of a triangle is expressed as the sum of the length of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. It means that

2x + y = 65 - - - - - - - - - 1

Each of the equal sides is 10 centimeters longer than the third side. This means that

x = y + 10

Substituting x = y + 10 into equation 1, it becomes

2(y + 10) + y = 65

2y + 20 + y = 65

2y + y = 65 - 20

3y = 45

y = 45/3 = 15

Substituting y = 15 into x = y + 10, it becomes

x = 15 + 10 = 25
