Answer to Problem 46HP

The reason for whether the isosceles triangle is always, sometimes or never the longest side of the triangle are described.

Explanation of Solution

Consider a triangle that has one side longer than the other side only when the angle that is only that is opposite to the longer side greater measure than the angel opposite to the shorter side.

Consider the base angle that are less than 60, the vertex of such angle are of more than 60. In such case the base of the isosceles triangle is longest as shown in Figure 1

Figure 1

Consider the base angle that are equal to 60, the vertex of such angle are of equal to 60. In such case the triangle is equilateral as shown in Figure 2
