    Step-by-step explanation:

    first side: x

    second side: x

    third side: x+x-2 = 2x-2

    perimeter (sum of the sides) : 22.

    therefore

    x+x+2x-2=22

    4x-2=22

    4x=24 / : 4

    x=6 [m]

    so:

    1st side: x=6m

    2nd side: x=6m

    3rd side: 2x-2=2*6-2=10m.

    Answer: these sides have 6m, 6m, 10m length.
