Decide if the following statement is valid or invalid. If two sides of a triangle are congruent then the triangle is isosceles.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of an Isosceles Triangle

(Most of this can be found in Chapter 1 of B&B.)

Definition: A triangle is isosceles if two if its sides are equal.

We want to prove the following properties of isosceles triangles.

Theorem: Let ABC be an isosceles triangle with AB = AC.  Let M denote the midpoint of BC (i.e., M is the point on BC for which MB = MC).  Then

a)      Triangle ABM is congruent to triangle ACM.

b)      Angle ABC = Angle ACB (base angles are equal)

c)      Angle AMB = Angle AMC = right angle.

d)      Angle BAM = angle CAM

Corollary: Consequently, from these facts and the definitions:

Ray AM is the angle bisector of angle BAC.

Line AM is the altitude of triangle ABC through A.

Line AM is the perpendicular bisector of B

Segment AM is the median of triangle ABC through A.

Proof #1 of Theorem (after B&B)

Let the angle bisector of BAC intersect segment BC at point D.  

Since ray AD is the angle bisector, angle BAD = angle CAD.  

The segment AD = AD = itself.

Also, AB = AC since the triangle is isosceles.

Thus, triangle BAD is congruent to CAD by SAS (side-angle-side).

This means that triangle BAD = triangle CAD, and corresponding sides and angles are equal, namely:

DB = DC,

angle ABD = angle ACD,

angle ADB = angle ADC.

(Proof of a).  Since DB = DC, this means D = M by definition of the midpoint.  Thus triangle ABM = triangle ACM.

(Proof of b) Since angle ABD = angle ABC (same angle) and also angle ACD = angle ACB, this implies angle ABC = angle ACB.

(Proof of c) From congruence of triangles, angle AMB = angle AMC.  But by addition of angles, angle AMB + angle AMC = straight angle = 180 degrees.  Thus 2 angle AMB = straight angle and angle AMB = right angle.

(Proof of d) Since D = M, the congruence angle BAM = angle CAM follows from the definition of D.  (These are also corresponding angles in congruent triangles ABM and ACM.)

QED*

*Note:  There is one point of this proof that needs a more careful “protractor axiom”.  When we constructed the angle bisector of BAC, we assumed that this ray intersects segment BC.  This can’t be quite deduced from the B&B form of the axioms.  One of the axioms needs a little strengthening.

The other statements are immediate consequence of these relations and the definitions of angle bisector, altitude, perpendicular bisector, and median.  (Look them up!)

Definition:  We will call the special line AM the line of symmetry of the isosceles triangle.  Thus we can construct AM as the line through A and the midpoint, or the angle bisector, or altitude or perpendicular bisector of BC. Shortly we will give a general definition of line of symmetry that applies to many kinds of figure.

Proof #2 (This is a slick use of SAS, not presented Monday.  We may discuss in class Wednesday.)

The hypothesis of the theorem is that AB = AC.  Also, AC = AB (!) and angle BAC = angle CAB (same angle).  Thus triangle BAC is congruent to triangle BAC by SAS.

The corresponding angles and sides are equal, so the base angle ABC = angle ACB.

Let M be the midpoint of BC.  By definition of midpoint, MB = MC. Also the equality of base angles gives angle ABM = angle ABC = angle ACB = angle ACM.  Since we already are given BA = CA, this means that triangle ABM = triangle ACM by SAS.

From these congruent triangles then we conclude as before:

Angle BAM = angle CAM (so ray AM is the bisector of angle BAC)

Angle AMB = angle AMC = right angle (so line MA is the perpendicular bisector of  BC and also the altitude of ABC through A)

QED

Faulty Proof #3.  Can you find the hole in this proof?)

In triangle ABC, AB = AC.  Let M be the midpoint and MA be the perpendicular bisector of BC.

Then angle BMA = angle CMA = right angle, since MA is perpendicular bisector.  

MB = MC by definition of midpoint. (M is midpoint since MA is perpendicular bisector.)

AM = AM (self).

So triangle AMB = triangle AMC by SAS.

Then the other equal angles ABC = ACB and angle BAM = angle CAM follow from corresponding parts of congruent triangles.  And the rest is as before.

A. Find the amplitude.
Feliz [49]

Answers:

  • a) Amplitude = 2
  • b) Period = pi
  • c) Vertical shift = -2, which means it has been shifted down 2 units.
  • d) Horizontal shift = 3pi/8, this shifting is to the right.
  • e) There is <u>  one  </u> cycle between 0 and 2pi.
  • f) The equation of the graph is y = 2*sin(2(x-3pi/8))-2

========================================================

Explanations:

Part (a)

The highest point is when y = 0 and the lowest point is when y = -4. The vertical distance between the peak and valley is 4 units, which cuts in half to 2. This is the amplitude. It's the vertical distance from the center to either the peak or valley.

Note: Amplitude is always positive as it measures a distance.

---------------------

Part (b)

For x > 0, the first valley or lowest point occurs between 0 and pi/4. It appears to be the midpoint of the two values. So that would be (0+pi/4)/2 = pi/8.

The next valley occurs between pi and 5pi/4. Compute the midpoint to get (pi+5pi/4)/2 = (4pi/4+5pi/4)/2 = (9pi/4)/2 = 9pi/8

So we have the graph go from one valley x = pi/8 to the next valley over x = 9pi/8. This is a distance of pi units because 9pi/8-pi/8 = 8pi/8 = pi

The graph repeats itself every pi units, so the period is pi.

---------------------

Part (c)

The midline is normally through y = 0, aka the x axis. However, the graph shows the midline is through y = -2. This means the graph has been shifted down 2 units.

---------------------

Part (d)

This will depend on whether you use sine or cosine. This is entirely because cosine is a phase-shifted version of sine, and vice versa. I'll go with sine.

The parent sine function y = sin(x) goes through the origin (0,0)

However, as part (c) mentioned, we shifted the graph 2 units down. So we have y = sin(x)-2. But plugging x = 0 into this leads to the point (0,-2)

This doesn't match what the graph says. The graph shows the point (3pi/8, -2) on the red curve. The x coordinate 3pi/8 is the midpoint of pi/4 and pi/2

This must mean we need to shift the sine graph 3pi/8 units to the right.

---------------------

Part (e)

Start at the lowest point when x = pi/8. If you start the cycle here, then it ends when x = 9pi/8. See part (b).

So far we've completed one cycle. If we start at x = 9pi/8, then the next valley or lowest point is slightly beyond or to the right of x = 2pi. This means we run out of room and we haven't completed a full cycle.

Overall, one full cycle is between 0 and 2pi.

---------------------

Part (f)

Again I'm going to use sine instead of cosine. Refer back to part (d).

The general sine curve equation is

y = A*sin(B(x-C))+D

where

  • |A| = amplitude
  • B handles the period, specifically T = 2pi/B where T is the period. We can solve for B to get B = 2pi/T
  • C = horizontal phase shift
  • D = vertical shift, and ties together with the midline equation

In this case, we found that

  • |A| = 2
  • T = pi leads to B = 2pi/T = 2pi/pi = 2
  • C = 3pi/8
  • D = -2

So,

y = A*sin(B(x-C))+D

will update to

y = 2*sin(2(x-3pi/8))-2

which is one way to express the equation of the red curve. Optionally you can distribute the 2 through to (x-3pi/8).
