$Let's~solve~your~question!$

$To~find~the~length~of~equal~sides~of~an~isosceles~triangle,~we~use~the~following\\formula.$

$\boxed{~P=2a+b~}$

$Now,~solving~for~``a":$

$P=\frac{P}{2} -\frac{b}{2}$

$=\frac{10}{2}-\frac{2}{2}$

$=5-1$

$=4$

$Thus,~each~equal~sides~of~an~isosceles~triangle~is~4cm.$
