The base of an isosceles triangle is 7 units.
What could the length of the other sides be?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of the two other equal sides must be greater than 3.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

Remember that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides

Let

x -----> the measure of the length of the two equal sides

Applying the Triangle inequality Theorem

1) [tex]x+x>7[/tex]

[tex]2x>7\\x>3.5\ units[/tex]

therefore

The length of the two other equal sides must be greater than 3.5 units
