Let
a---------> length of one of the two congruent sides of the triangle

we know that
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side (Triangle Inequality Theorem)
so
(a+a) > 8
2a > 8
a> 4
Rounded to the nearest tenth, <span>the smallest possible length of a is 4.1
</span>
the answer is
4.1 units

A dog kennel owner has 147ft. of fencing to enclose a rectangular dog run. She wants it to be 6times as long as it is wide. Find
igomit [66]

Answer:

length = 63 ft; width = 10.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.

The length is 6 times the width, so the length is 6x.

The perimeter is the sum of 2 lengths and 2 widths.

6x + 6x + x + x

The perimeter equals 147 ft.

6x + 6x + x + x = 147

14x = 147

x = 10.5

The width is 10.5 ft.

The length is 6x, so the length is 6 * 10.5 ft = 63 ft
