Question 8 • (Volch)WCA 3230 Geometry 3rd Nine Weeks 2025-2026

What type of special right triangle can an isosceles triangle be?

Answer
A
30°-60°-90°
B
45°-45°-90°
C
both a 30°-60°-90° and a 45°-45°-90°
D
none

Explanation

An isosceles triangle has at least two equal sides, so the angles opposite those sides are equal. A 45°-45°-90° triangle has two equal angles and two equal sides, so it can be isosceles. A 30°-60°-90° triangle has three different angles and is not isosceles.
