Algebra.Com's Answer #350185 by Earlsdon(6294) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, an isosceles(sp.) triangle has at least two equal sides. \n" ); document.write( "So if one side measures 7, then: \n" ); document.write( "A. 7 and 14 will not work because the longest side (14) is exactly equal to the sum of the other two sides (7+7) and this does not form a triangle. \n" ); document.write( "B. 15 and 7 will not work for the same reason stated in A. \n" ); document.write( "C. 15 and 15 will work because you will have two equal sides (15 and 15) and the third side (7) will connect to form a triangle. \n" ); document.write( "D. 3 and 3 will not work for the same reason stated in A. \n" ); document.write( " |
