how many lines of symmetry does an isosceles triangle have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's the definition of an isosceles triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a triangle with two equal sides and one different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you see your answer now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one? one line of symmetry right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"two equal sides" No matter what angle you connect 2 equal lines, they are going to have a center around which the 2 lines will be symmetrical.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right so then does that mean its two or more? sorry im just a little weak in math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so am I wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hellllloooooooo?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DAMN!!! I was wrong, and you were right! Please forgive me. The 2 legs are symmetrical, but they are symmetrical around a "line of symmetry" So an isosceles has at least ONE line of symmetry.
