(a)
To explain: Given diagram represents an isosceles triangle or not.
(a)
Answer to Problem 3CFU
Yes it represents an isosceles triangle
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The diagram:
Calculation:
To show that a triangle is an isosceles triangle, we have to prove that the length of the two sides of a triangle is the same.
After calculating the length of BC and BA, we can see that the two distances are the same.
Thus,
Yes it represents an isosceles triangle
(b)
To explain: Given diagram represents an isosceles triangle or not.
(b)
Answer to Problem 3CFU
Yes it represents an isosceles triangle
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The diagram:
Calculation:
To show that a triangle is an isosceles triangle, we have to prove that the length of the two sides of a triangle is the same.
After calculating the length of BA and CA, we can see that the two distances are the same.
Thus,
Yes it represents an isosceles triangle
(c)
To explain: Given diagram represents an isosceles triangle or not.
(c)
Answer to Problem 3CFU
No it does not represent an isosceles triangle
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The diagram:
Calculation:
To show that a triangle is an isosceles triangle, we have to prove that the length of the two sides of a triangle is the same.
After calculating the length of BA and BC, we can see that the two distances are NOT the same, unless A and B are equal to each other.
Thus,
No it does not represent an isosceles triangle
