Isosceles Triangles

Question 111305 • CA-Common Core Geometry DVHS Sem. 2

Which properties belong to all isosceles triangles? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The base angles are congruent.
B
All three angles are congruent.
C
The two sides opposite the base angles are congruent.
D
All three sides are congruent.
E
The bisector of the vertex angle is the perpendicular bisector of the base.

Explanation

An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides, so the sides opposite the two base angles are congruent (C), and the base angles are congruent (A). The symmetry of an isosceles triangle also means the vertex-angle bisector meets the base at a right angle and its midpoint, making it the base’s perpendicular bisector (E). The triangle need not have all three angles or all three sides congruent.
