Sounds like an isosceles triangle.
Let the base be x
each of the other sides = (1/2)x + 1

x + 2((1/2)x + 1) = 22
x + x + 2 = 22
x = 10

so the sides are 6 , 6, and 10
How you got 6
We got 6 because they had told more than half the 3 sides so 3 + 3 = 6 so that two sides which are equal are 6
Its helpful.. Thank you so much..
