An isoceles triangle has at least two congruent sides. The perimeter of a certain isoceles triangle is at most 12 inches. The length of each of the two congruent sides is 5 inches. What are the possible lengths of the remaining side?
If the length of each of the two congruent sides is 5 inches, then 10 inches of the perimeter is taken up by these two sides. And since the perimeter is no more that 12 inches, the remaining side must be greater than 0 but less than or equal to 2 inches.
