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.

Pentagon ABCDE is a regular polygon. The length of side BC is represented by 3x - 4. The length of side DE is represented by the
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Length of side AB = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon is one in which all angles are equal and all the sides have the same length.

Now, it means that;

AB = BC = CD = DE = AE

We are told that BC is represented by 3x - 4 while DE is represented by the expression 4x - 9.

Thus, from equal length of sides of a regular polygon, we have;

3x - 4 = 4x - 9

4x - 3x = 9 - 4

x = 5

Thus, length of BC = 3(5) - 4 = 15 - 4 = 11

Therefore, Length of AB = 5
