If the perpendicular bisector of one side of a triangle goes through the opposite vertex, then is the triangle isosceles?

Mathematics

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular bisector of the opposite side to the vertex bisects the angle at the vertex into two equal parts and also bisects the triangle into two equal parts.

Let A be the angle at the vertex, then assume that the angle is an isosceles triangle with base angles B.

We need to show that A = 180 - 2B for an isoceles triangle

The perpendicular bisector bisects A into two so the new angle in the vertex one half of the bisected triangle is A/2.

Since this half triangle is a right-angled triangle, the third angle in it is 90.

So, A/2 + B +  90 = 180 (Sum of angles in a triangle)

subtracting 90 from both sides, we have

A/2 + B + 90 - 90 = 180 - 90

A/2 + B = 90

subtracting B from both sides, we have

A/2 + B = 90

A/2 = 90 - B

multiplying through by 2, we have

A = 2(90 - B)

A = 180 - 2B

Since A = 180 - 2B, then our triangle is an isosceles triangle.

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line x=-2and passes through the point (-5, 4)?
Nimfa-mama [501]
First, it is important to understand that any equation that is x=some number is just a vertical line that hits the x-axis at the given number. For example, x=-2 would be a vertical line hitting the x-axis at -2. Therefore, the line we are trying to identify would also be vertical (and have the form x=some number) because we know the lines are parallel. Then, since we're given the point (-5,4), we know the line needs to hit the x-axis at -5, therefore the equation would be x=-5.

I hope this helps.
