Two of the side lengths in an isosceles triangle are 6 and 8 . The perimeter of the triangle could be
(A) 18
(B) 14
(C) 22
(D) 16
(E) 24
An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.

Since we are given that two of the side lengths in an isosceles triangle are 6 and 8 , then it is possible that the three side lengths are 6,6 and 8 .

In this case, the perimeter of the triangle is $6+6+8=20$, but this is not one of the given answers.

The only other possibility is that the side lengths are 6,8 and 8 .

In this case, the perimeter is $6+8+8=22$.

ANSWER: $(\mathrm{C})$
