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

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.

A rigid transformation can also be referred to as an isometric transformation. The prefix "iso-" means "of the same" and "-metri
Svetllana [295]
As stated by the statement, isometric means same measure. So, when a rigid transformation occurs all the measures of the original figure (which will be transformed) will be the same of the new figure (the result of the transformation).


That means that you can verify that the transformation used was rigid by checking the measures of both (original and transformed) figures: if and only if the meausures of the final figure are the same of the original figure the transformation was rigid.
