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.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin 64\degree = \frac{AC}{AB}\\\\AC = AB \sin 64\degree \\\\AC = 13.481910694\\\\AC \approx 13.5

PLZ HELP IN A RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Her new balance = - 92.34

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out what the check did.

She had $63.44 in her account. Her check caused her to be in the whole

63.44 - 186.56 = -123.12

Now she deposited 1/4 of that amount.

- 123.12 + (1/4)(123.12) = - 123.12 + 30.78

Her new balance = - 92.34
