Question

An isosceles triangle has a base 9.6 units long. If the congruent side lengths have measures to the first decimal place, what is the shortest possible length of the sides?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The question is a bit ambigous, but I will assume that the base is not one of the equal sides.

Each side has to be equal. that means that the shortest distance is 9.6 / 2 = 4.8

The way the question is worded, it sounds like the answer should be 4.9.
