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

Answer:

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

x+x > 9.6

2x > 9.6

x > \frac{9.6}{2}

x > 4.8

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

guapka [62]
Minimum required sample size for a desired margin of error and confidence level when it is a proportion problem: n = (z2÷margin of error2)*p-hat*q-hat

The maximum value of p-hat*q-hat occurs where p-hat = .5 (found by taking the derivative of (p-hat)*(1-p-hat) and setting it equal to 0 to find the maximum. n = ( 2.5762( for 99% confidence interval)÷.0482 )*.5*.5 = 720.028 or 721
