Can the angle bisector of a triangle also be the perpendicular bisector?
Yes. The bisector of one angle of a triangle is the perpendicular bisector of theopposite side if the bisected angle is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle,or any angle of an equilateral triangle.
Is this True or false the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the base?
True
What does a perpendicular bisector of a triangle split into two congruent parts?
That will depend on what type of triangle it is as for example if it is an isosceles triangle then it will form two congruent right angle triangles.
Does an isosceles triangle have a right angle?
An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles. A right triangle is any triangle with one angle that is a right angle. A right triangle could also be an isosceles triangle, but an isosceles triangle will not always have a right angle.
Does an isosceles triangle have a right angle in it?
An isosceles triangle may have a right angle, but a right angle is not a requirement of all isosceles triangles.
Can the angle bisector of a triangle also be the perpendicular bisector?
Yes. The bisector of one angle of a triangle is the perpendicular bisector of theopposite side if the bisected angle is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle,or any angle of an equilateral triangle.
What are 2 properties of an isosceles triangle?
-- An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. -- An isosceles triangle has two equal angles. -- An isosceles triangle has two equal interior-angle bisectors. -- The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the triangle's base.
Is a perpendicular bisector always an angle bisector?
thank goodness for my math teacher, norm! he said only in an isosceles triangle. The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base! =)
If an angle bisector of an isosceles triangle yields two isosceles triangles what were the angle measures of the original triangle?
they would be congruent triangles!
What triangle must always have at least one angle bisector that is also a perpendicular bisector?
any isosceles triangle
Is this True or false the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the base?
True
Does the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle divides the triangle into two congruent?
Only if the vertex angle being bisected is between the sides of equal length will the result be two congruent triangles.
What triangle has an altitude which is also a median and angle bisector?
An isosceles or an equilateral triangle perhaps?
Does the angle bisector in a triangle bisect the opposite side?
Not necessarily. The only time that the angle bisector would bisect the opposite side is if you were bisecting the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle.
For what kinds of triangles can the perpendicular bisector of a side also be an angle bisector of the angle opposite the side?
Every isosceles or equilateral triangle.
How are perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors the same?
In general, they are not. In an isosceles triangle, the perpendicular bisector of the base is the same as the bisector of the angle opposite the base. But the other two perp bisectors are not the same as the angle bisectors. Only in an equilateral triangle is each perp bisector the same as the angle bisector of the angle opposite.
Is it possible for an angle bisector to be the same line as a median?
Yes. In an isosceles or equilateral triangle, it always is.
