Answer:
6.1 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
it depends on what your teacher told you and wants to see.
because, theoretically, it would be 6.0 cm. but that would render the whole triangle into a flat line, as the 2 equal sides together (2×6 = 12) would be exactly as long as the baseline (12) of the triangle.
which is again a theoretically possible construct (counting as extreme triangle).
but it is more likely that your teacher wants the definition applied that for each combination of 2 sides this combination has to be larger (and not larger or equal) than the third side.
so, the 2 equal sides have to be larger than 6 cm.
the smallest number in your answer options to fit that criteria is 6.1 cm
just FYI - your teacher was not very precise in the phrasing, because there are many numbers smaller than 6.1 that would still be correct.
like 6.01, or 6.005, ...
