if the triangle is isosceles right, then the sides' length are : a , a and b. and you have the Pythagorean theorem : a*a +a*a =b*b

so if you have the length of the longest side (b) then the two other sides' length are a=b/sqrt(2) = 0,707*b (approx)

if you have the length of the 2 same sides (a) then the longest side's length is b=a*sqrt(2) =1,414*a (approx)

What is the length of the sides of an isosceles triangle?

The length of the sides of an isosceles triangle are not set in stone. An isosceles triangle is defined as a triangle with at least two congruent sides. Equilateral triangles; that is, triangles in which all sides are of equal length are also considered to be isosceles triangles. Therefore, as long as at least two sides of the triangle are congruent, (Of equal length) said triangle is an isosceles triangle.
