Question

Hi, I got 8 points off on this problem, can you help me figure out what I did wrong?

Answer 1

Answer:

Possible errors: Triangle classification and definition.

Step-by-step explanation:

An isoceles triangle has at least two congruent sides of the same length.  

Given the triangle that has two equal angles, and that you'll have to prove that the triangle also has two equal sides.  

Using the Converse of Isoceles Triangle Theorem, where it states that if a triangle has two congruent angles < PQR ≅ < PRQ, for which opposite sides of those angles are congruent:  

• The opposite side of <PQR is line PR.
• The opposite side of <PRQ is line PQ.  

Additionally, connecting point P to point X along the line QR such that PX ⊥ QR, divides △PQR into two symmetrical sections, where points Q and R are equidistant from point X.
