When the vertex angle and the base of an isosceles triangle are given how do you find its perimeter?
Chep21
Using the trigonometry ratio for the cosine and by halving the base lenght which will result in two right angled triangles.
Then after working out the hypotenuse simply double it and add on the original base length.

What is the angle of an isosceles triangle?
The two angles that are not the isosceles vertex are equal.
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.
