Question 428152
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


No.


An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal measure.  Hence, the third side is either longer than each of the two equal sides or shorter than each of the two equal sides.


In order for FD to be the shortest side, the triangle must represent the latter condition and FD is the one unequal side.  You can also deduce that segments CD and CF are congruent.
