Answer:
Isosceles
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider triangle ABC, BD is the median and the altitude drawn to the side AC. This segment (BD) divide the triangle ABC into two triangles: ABD and CBD.
In these triangles:
- AD=DC (because BD is the median);
- ∠ADB=∠CDB=90° (because BD is the altitude);
- BD is common side.
Thus, by SAS postulate, triangles ABD and CBD are conruent. Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides. Hence, AB=CB.
If in triangle ABC, AB=BC, then this triangle is isosceles.
Answer:
24.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the factorial function to find the number of unique arrangements in a word.
There are 4 unique characters in 'OPAL'. As such, 4! = 24.
In the case that there were repeating characters, such as 'OPALA', then we would divide by the factorial of the number of repeating letters. That looks something like this:
