SOLUTION: An isosceles triangle has a base of 9.6 units long. If the congruent side lengths have measures to the first decimal place, what is the possible length of the sides? 9.7, 4.9, or 4

Question 552391: An isosceles triangle has a base of 9.6 units long. If the congruent side lengths have measures to the first decimal place, what is the possible length of the sides? 9.7, 4.9, or 4.7
Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The congruent sides cannot measure 4.7, because the sum of their lengths must be greater than the length of the remaining side and 4.7+4.7=9.4 is less than 9.6.
A length of 4.9 is permissible for the congruent sides, and so is a length of 9.7.
