The isosceles triangle has a base that measures 14 units. The value of y, the length of each leg, must be equal to 7. between 7
and 14. greater than 7. between 14 and 28.
2 answers:
1.The isosceles triangle has sides of length 14, y, y
2. According to the "triangle inequality" :
y+y>14
2y>14
y>14/2=7
(y is greater than 7)
3. Remark, check the figures:
the side lengths cannot be less than (neither equal to 7), because we cannot get a triangle in that case, check picture 2
In picture 1 wee see that the side lengths can be as large as we want. We can erect an altitude, as high as we want. Pick a point on the altitude, and join it to the endpoints of the base, and we get an isosceles triangle with base equal to 14.

Answer:
Noah is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Noah is correct, a proportional relationship can be formed by observing two conditions:
1) Knowing at least two distinct collinear points on coordinate grid.
2) Ratio between dependent and independent variables must be the same on each point.
3) Relationship must include origin.
Makayla used two points: (0, 0) and (3, 33). Therefore, she observed all conditions described above:
Condition 1: Makayla plotted (0,0) and (3,33). According to Geometry, two distinct point on coordinate grid are always collinear.
Condition 2: The proportionality ratio is:
Condition 3: The relationship included origin: (0, 0).
