Question

The isosceles triangle has a base that measures 14 unitsThe value of y, the length of each leg, must be

Answer 1

Answer:

Each leg must be greater than 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of the two sides must be greater than the third side.

If a, b and c are sides of the triangle, the following conditions must be satisfied.

i) a + b > c

ii) b + c > a

iii) c + a > b

It must be true for all the triangles.

We are given an isosceles triangle, in the isosceles triangle, two sides must be equal.

We are given the base as 14 units.

So, the sum of the lengths of the other two sides must be greater than 14.

Therefore, each leg must be greater than 7.

Answer 2

The isosceles triangle length of each leg would have to be greater than 7
