A triangle with two equals sides is cut in half, will the halves be equal?
Correct Answer
Yes
Explanation
In an isosceles triangle, the line of symmetry runs from the vertex angle (the angle opposite the base) to the midpoint of the base. This line divides the triangle into two congruent right triangles. Each of these right triangles will have:
One leg that is half the length of the base of the original triangle
The other leg equal to one of the equal sides of the original triangle
The hypotenuse being the other half of the original isosceles triangle
Therefore, the two resulting triangles will be congruent (exactly the same in terms of shape and size).
