An isosceles triangle has at least two congruent sides. The perimeter of a certain isosceles triangle is at most 12 in. The length of each of the two congruent sides is 5 in. What are the possible lengths of the remaining side?

Because the perimeter is at most 12 inches and we know that the length of the two congruent sides is 5 inches we know that the base is at most 2 inches.
THE MISSING SIDE LENGTH IS AT MOST 2 INCHES!
Hope that helps!
