Answer:

Consider the triangle ABC in the attached file.

Given: An isosceles triangle ABC.  

To Prove: Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent.

Construction: Draw AM perpendicular to BC.

Proof: To prove the base angles  of an isosceles triangle are congruent, we first need to prove triangle ABM is congruent to triangle ACM.

In \Delta {ABM} and \Delta {ACM}

AB=AC\:\:\left [ \because \Delta ABC\: \text {is an isosceles triangle }\right ]

\angle \text{AMB}=\angle \text{AMC} \:\left [ \text{Each 90}\right ]

\text{AM}=\text{AM}\:\:\left [\text{Common} \right ]

So, \Delta \text{ABM}\cong \Delta \text{ACM} by AAS criteria.

Therefore,  \angle \text{ABM}=\angle \text{ACM} by CPCT.

Hence, the base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent.

Original Equation:8 - 7x^2 + 3 = 4x^2 - 1Frist step:11 - 7x^2 = -4x^2 - 1Which property justifies the first step?A. Division pro
Tpy6a [65]

8 - 7x^2 + 3 = 4x^2 - 1

8+3-7x^2 = 4x^2-1

11-7x^2 = 4x^2-1

B. Commutative property of addition

We can swap numbers and obtain the same results.

In this case, we swapped 8+3 and added them.
