Step-by-step solution
5 stepsHere's the proof for question 3.3.
Part 3
Part 3.3
Prove that is isosceles.
Given:
- In :
- PQ GH (meaning )
- PR GJ (meaning )
- HP = PJ
- (where is and is )
To Prove: is isosceles.
Proof:
Consider the two triangles and .
We will prove these two triangles are congruent.
Identify equal angles and sides.
- (Given: PQ GH and PR GJ).
- (Given).
- (Given: ).
Conclude congruence.
Therefore, (Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) congruence criterion).
Deduce equal corresponding parts.
Since the triangles are congruent, their corresponding angles are equal.
Thus, (Corresponding angles of congruent triangles).Conclude that is isosceles.
Since two base angles of are equal (), the sides opposite these angles must also be equal (). Therefore, is an isosceles triangle.
