Suppose triangle ABC is isosceles, such that the length of segment AB = the length of segment AC. If P is the midpoint of AB and Q is the midpoint of AC, what is true about the length of segments PC and QB? A.Segments PC and QB coincide. B.Segments PC and QB are perpendicular. C.Segments PC and QB are congruent. D.Segments PC and QB are parallel.

OpenStudy (icalibear):

It might help to draw the triangle, can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I might be able to

OpenStudy (icalibear):

Why don't you try drawing it on here and we'll figure out the problem from there.

OpenStudy (icalibear):

Can you label it?

OpenStudy (icalibear):

According to the data given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really don't know how to

OpenStudy (icalibear):

That's okay. I'll label it for you, just give me a minute.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks!

OpenStudy (icalibear):

Now looking at QB and PC, what can you say about them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They across over each other

OpenStudy (icalibear):

|dw:1355726618231:dw| Like this right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!

OpenStudy (icalibear):

So looking at your options lets take a look at the first one. What does coincide mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is C?

OpenStudy (icalibear):

Are they equal to each other?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes they are

OpenStudy (icalibear):

Then yes

OpenStudy (icalibear):

C) is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you!

OpenStudy (icalibear):
