Answer:

14 cm

Explanation:

1. Recognize that an isosceles triangle will have at least two equal sides. Given the wording of the problem, we can say that we have two equal sides of 4 cm and a third side of 6 cm

2. Define perimeter. The perimeter of a triangle is the length of the continuous line outlining the triangle

3. Add all three side lengths together (4 cm + 4 cm + 6 cm). This will equal 14 cm
