You can put this solution on YOUR website! If one side is fifteen and the other two sides are equal to each other, what's the smallest possible value for the other two sides?
----------
Draw the picture.
Sketch the 15 side
Sketch two other equal sides that are both x long
-----------
Solve 2x> 15
x > 7.5
----
Note: By the way; there is no "smallest" number that is greater
than 7.5 because Real Number values are continuous
