In isosceles triangles, we have 2 sides of equal length.

Given that its perimeter is   \frac{62}{15}  cm.

Let's assume the length of the equal side is x cm.

Also, 

Perimeter = x + x + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{62}{15}

Transposing  \frac{4}{3} to the RHS side it becomes,

  2x = \frac{62}{15}-\frac{4}{3} = \frac{62-20}{15} = \frac{42}{15} = \frac{14}{5}

Now dividing both sides by 2, we get

  x = \frac{14}{5}\times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{5}

Hence, the length of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle is   \frac{7}{5}  cm.
