Two sides of an isosceles triangle are 13 inches and 16 inches. What are two possible perimeters ? IS one 42 ?

An isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides, right?

13+13+16 or 13+16+16
Please double check with someone. I think this is right.

To find the perimeter of a triangle, you need to add the lengths of all three sides. In the case of an isosceles triangle, two of the sides are equal.

Given that the two equal sides of the isosceles triangle have lengths 13 inches and 16 inches, you can consider two possible scenarios:

1. If the two equal sides are both 13 inches, then the third side, which is the base, will also be 13 inches. Therefore, the perimeter will be 13 inches + 13 inches + 16 inches = 42 inches.

2. If the two equal sides are both 16 inches, then the third side, which is the base, will also be 16 inches. So, the perimeter will be 16 inches + 16 inches + 13 inches = 45 inches.

Therefore, the two possible perimeters for the isosceles triangle are 42 inches and 45 inches.

Thats what i thought, the question said logical reasoning

Thank you
