Question 1 (25 points) An isosceles triangle has a base 8.8 units long. If the congruent side lengths have measures to the first decimal place, what is
the shortest possible length of the sides?
4.5
8.9
4.3
Od
17.7

С

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For any triangle, the basic principle for these types of problems is that the sum of the 2 shorter sides has to be greater than the longest side, otherwise it is not a triangle, even if it's equal to the longest side.

So, let's look at the first option. 4.5. Since this is an isosceles triangle and the base is 8.8 units, the other side has to be 4.5 as well. 4.5+4.5=9. 9 > 8.8. So, we can immediately eliminate options 8.9 and 17.7. What about 4.3? Well, 4.3+4.3= 8.6, but 8.6 < 8.8, so 8.6 is wrong. So, the answer is 4.5.

41*67/2=1373.5

i just used a calculator

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
