Question

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).

Chapter 4.4, Problem 31WE

To determine

To prove: that two triangles are isosceles.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 31WE

△JMN & ΔLMN are isosceles

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The system, given: JL¯⊥ Z

ΔKMN is isosceles, with KM¯≅KN¯

Calculation:

The Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite to those sides are congruent.

1. JL¯⊥ Z

Reason: Given

2. JL¯⊥KN¯;JL¯⊥KM¯

Reason: Definition of a line ⊥ to a plane

3. m∠JKN=90;m∠JKM=90

Reason: Definition of ⊥ lines

4. ∠JKN≅∠JKM

Reason: Definition of congruent angles

5. KM¯≅KN¯

Reason: Given

6. JK¯≅JK¯

Reason: Reflexive property

7. ΔJKN≅ΔJKM

Reason: SAS postulate

8. JM¯≅JN¯

Reason: Corresponding parts of ≅ triangles are ≅

9. JL¯⊥KN¯;JL¯⊥KM¯

Reason: Definition of a line ⊥ to a plane

10. m∠LKN=90;m∠LKM=90

Reason: Definition of ⊥ lines

11. ∠LKN≅∠LKM

Reason: Definition of congruent angles

12. KM¯≅KN¯

Reason: Given

13. LK¯≅LK¯

Reason: Reflexive property

14. ΔLKN≅ΔLKM

Reason: SAS postulate

15. LM¯≅LN¯

Reason: Corresponding parts of ≅ triangles are ≅

16. △JMN & ΔLMN are isosceles

Reason: Definition of isosceles triangles (from step 8 &15)

Thus, △JMN & ΔLMN are isosceles

To determine

To prove: the two isosceles are congruent.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 31WE
