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.

During the sixth grade lunch period, Paul asks every third student who enterd the lunchroom a survey question. Which question is
Neko [114]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

You would have to eliminate A because the students have not yet been to other school districts especially if it's every third. You would also have to eliminate B because well, there really isnt any other place to eat but the lunchroom because otherwise it might pose a problem, and with C it can be difficult but again, if we were to try to change something the time they take really has no impact. D would have to be the correct answer because every third student will have various favorite lunch items and will ultimately tell the school that the gross macaroni that is like...unedible is bad and needs to be taken out...immediatley.
