Which could be the length of BC?

11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two lengths of a triangle as

AB = 6ft

AC = 6ft

This is an isosceles triangle because only 2 sides are equal.

In an isosceles triangle, the sum of 2 (sides) lengths must be greater than the other length.

Therefore, let's assume the following:

i) AC + AB > BC

6 + 6 > BC

12 > BC (BC is less than 12)

BC < 12

ii) BC + AC > AB

BC + 6 > 6

BC > 6 - 6

BC > 0

Therefore the range of values for BC =

0 < BC < 12

Since BC must be bigger than one of the lengths and it must also be less than the sum of the 2 sides. The length of BC could be 11 because it is less than (6+6) 12 and greater than 6.
