Isosceles Triangle
Isosceles triangle (a two-dimensional figure) has two sides that are the same length or at least two congruent sides.
- Isosceles triangle (a two-dimensional figure) has two sides that are the same length or at least two congruent sides.
- Angle bisector of a right isosceles triangle is a line that splits an angle into two equal angles.
- Circumcircle is a circle that passes through all the vertices of a two-dimensional figure.
- Congruent is all sides having the same lengths and angles measure the same.
- Inscribed circle is the largest circle possible that can fit on the inside of a two-dimensional figure.
- Semiperimeter is one half of the perimeter.
- a = c
- x = y
- x + y + z = 180°
- Height: \(h_a\), \(h_b\), \(h_c\)
- Median: \(m_a\), \(m_b\), \(m_c\) - A line segment from a vertex (corner point) to the midpoint of the opposite side
- Angle bisectors: \(t_a\), \(t_b\), \(t_c\) - A line that splits an angle into two equal angles
- 3 edges
- 3 vertexs
