The angle opposite the base of an isosceles triangle?
O
Definition Base angles of Isosceles triangles?
The base angles of an isosceles triangle are the two angles with the same measure, each formed by the intersection between the base of the triangle and one of the two legs.
If DEF is an isosceles triangle with base what is the measure of F?
45.3255556545
What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
In an isosceles triangle does the median to the base bisect the vertex angle?
In the diagram, ABC is an isoscels triangle with the congruent sides and , and is the median drawn to the base . We know that ∠A ≅ ∠C, because the base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent; we also know that ≅ , by definition of an isosceles triangle. A median of a triangle is a line segment drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. That means ≅ . This proves that ΔABD ≅ ΔCBD. Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, that means ∠ABD≅ ∠CBD. Since the median is the common side of these adjacent angles, in fact bisects the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle.
