Question

An isosceles triangle has two sides of length n where n is an integer greater than 1. What is the smallest possible integer length of the third side?(1 point)

⌊n/2⌋+1

n−1

1

0

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

The answer is 1 because of the triangle inequality theorem. In order for the shape to be a triangle, two of the sides need to be smaller than one. The two sides we know of is n, n is equal to an integer greater than 1. So, in order for the triangle to be a triangle, the third side has to be at least 1. I also had the same question on my assignment.
