Hello, there is a isoscele triangle. The base is 8cm. The Perimetr is 32. I know it is easy to find other two sides (32=8+2x; x=12) the problem is that: can be two sides longer than the base in the triangle? I have heard somewhere that the base is the longest side, isnt it true?

however the base is not always the longest side.  since it is going at an angle, the whole the shortest distance is a straight line thing kinda comes into play!
