D Given: AD and CD are legs of isosceles ADC. B is the midpoint of AC Prove: A C A C B • AD and CD are legs of isosceles ADC. • AD CD • B is midpt. of AC • AB BC • Draw DB • DB DB • DAB DCB • A C • Given • An isos. triangle is a triangle in which at least 2 sides are . • Given • A mdpt. divides a seg into 2 segs. • 2 points determine a line. • Reflexive Property • SSS • CPCTC
Given: AB = x + 3 AC = 3x + 2 BC = 2x + 3 Perimeter of ABC = 20 Show that ABC is scalene. A B C Perimeter = 20 = x + 3 + 3x + 2 + 2x + 3 20 = 6x + 8 12 = 6x 2 = x AB = 2 + 3 = 5 AC = 3(2) + 2 = 8 BC = 2(2) + 3 = 7 ABC is scalene because no sides are .
