Isosceles triangle ABC is folded along BM with M chosen in such a way that it is the midpoint of side AC, the shortest side. Which pair of sides are congruent based on the definition of midpoint? Which pair of sides are congruent based on the reflexive property? Which pair of sides are congruent based on the definition of isosceles triangles?

Respuesta :

Q1. In geometry, the midpoint is the middle or center point of a line segment. In the example given, point M bisects line AC, thus producing a pair of congruent sides AM and MC.

Q2. The reflexive property of congruence is used to prove congruence of geometric figures like triangles. This is used when a figure like angles and line segments is congruent to itself. Based on the example given, lines AB and BC and lines AM and MC.

Q3. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two congruent sides. Congruent sides are lines AB and BC.

Answer:

AM and CM

BM and BM

AB and CB
