In triangle ABC, the lengths of sides AB and AC are equal, making triangle ABC an isosceles triangle. If the length of side AB is 7 cm and the length of side AC is also 7 cm, what is the length of side BC?
According to the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. However, in this case, we are only concerned with finding the length of side BC based on the information given about sides AB and AC.
