A triangle has side lengths of 17 feet, 19 feet, and 16 feet. Is this triangle isosceles? Choices: (A)yes (B)no

Define triangle: Define an isosceles triangle. An isosceles triangle has at least two sides that are equal in length. Compare side lengths: Compare the side lengths of the triangle. Side lengths given: 17 feet, 19 feet, and 16 feet. Check if any two sides are equal: - 17 feet ≠ 19 feet - 17 feet ≠ 16 feet - 19 feet ≠ 16 feet Conclusion: Conclusion based on side length comparison. Since no two sides are equal, the triangle is not isosceles.
