An isosceles triangle has a base 9.2 units long. if the congruent side lengths have measures to the first decimal place, what is the shortest possible length of the sides?

Question:

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

4.9 is the shortest possible length of the sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The base of the triangle base  =   9.2 units

To Find:

The shortest possible length of the sides = ?

Solution:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

So According to the theorem

In the given option 4.9 is the shortest length greater than 4.8 that can be possible.

answer by jkismyhusbandbae:

a) how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value.

  measure of length.   there are 12 inches in a foot, and 36 inches in a yard.   one inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters.

accuracy is how close something is to an actual answer but it is not exactly correct.
