An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, and a base, b. The perimeter of the triangle is 15.7 inches, so the equa

tion to solve is 2a + b = 15.7. If we recall that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side, which lengths make sense for possible values of b? Select two options. –2 in. 0 in. 0.5 in. 2 in. 7.9 in.
