Okay couldn't you just say something like...since ab and zx are congruent, the angles opposite them are congruent, those two angles make up the triangle TYC, and if those two angles are congruent it would be isoceles?

Sorry it took a while to respond, I never thought of it that way. According to that theorem, would those angles really be congruent? I'm just trying to picture it in my head.

I'm not entirely sure, it might have something to do with that two sides of those triangles would have to be similiar, therefore making it congruent or something, I'm not sure on the specifics, but I hope that helped!

Oh wait a second, doesn't this only work once you know that the triangle is isosceles as it is called the Isosceles Triangle Theorem?

Anyone? I really need help on this...
