Question 644536: If an isosceles triangle has side lengths of 5 & 8, what could be the length of the 3rd side?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is an isosceles triangle. So there are 2 equal sides. This means that the third side could be 5 units or 8 units. If it were 5 units, then you would have 3 side lengths of 5, 5, 8 units. If it were 8 units, then you would have 3 side lengths of 5, 8, 8 units. There are no other possibilities.
