Let the length of shortest side be x cm.

According to the given information,

Longest side = 2 x Shortest side = 2x cm

And third side = 2 + Shortest side = (2 + x) cm

Perimeter of triangle = x + 2x + (x + 2) = 4x + 2

But it is given that,

Perimeter > 166 cm

=> 4x + 2 > 166 => 4x> 166-2 => 4x>164

x>164/4 =41 cm

Hence, the minimum length of shortest side is 41 cm.
