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.

The sum of 6 consecutive even numbers is 270.What is the second number in this sequence?
Finger [1]

Answer: 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the six consecutive even numbers be x , x+2 , x+4 ,x+6 ,x+8 ,x+10.

Then According to the question , we have

x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)+(x+10)=270\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10=270\\\\\Rightarrow\6x+30=270\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=270-30\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=240\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=40

Now, the second number from the above six consecutive even numbers  is x+2.

Substitute the value of x in it, we get

The second number in this sequence = x+2=40+2=42

Set it up 180=(7x+10)+ z because angle b is on the flat line and then solve for x (180-10, then 170/7) and you’ll get the value of x and from there you can put it in all
