The perimeter is the sum of the three sides.
Perimeter of the isosceles triangle: 16.2+16.2+8.1 = 40.5 cm
The lengths of two sides are not enough to determine the perimeter of a triangle: Either the third side or else the angle between the two given sides is also needed. If two of the sides are 10m and 25m, then the third side can be anything between 15m and 35m, and the perimeter can be anything between 45m and 70m.
A triangle has 3 sides. The sum of any two sides must be larger than or equal to the length of the third side, and the difference of any two sides must be less than or equal to the length of the third side.
The sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third so the following eight triangles will do: (1,8,8), (2,7,8), (3,6,8), (3,7,7), (4,5,8), (4,6,7), (5,5,7) and (5,6,6).
