Answer:

The length of each of the two equal sides of the triangle is 25.1cm

Explanation:

Cut isoceles triangle into 2 right-angle triangle.

42.67in ÷ 2 = 21.335in

Using trigonometric formula:

Let angle = ?°

cos ?° = adjacent/hypotanuse

cos 31.84° = 21.335/hypo

hypo = 21.335/cos 31.84°

= 25.1inches (3s.f)
