An isosceles triangle with angles 70°, 70° and 40° is reflected across the line that is the bisector of the 40° angle. The resulting transformed figure is exactly the same as the original figure, therefore: Select one: a. The original triangle has a line of symmetry. b. The original triangle has 180° rotational symmetry. c. The scale factor of the dilation is exactly 1. d. The triangle is a regular polygon. I say A because if the triangle is 70,70,40 and the bisector is 40 I think that 40 and 40 would make it line of symmetry.

well its not D because an isosceles triangle cant be regular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait could it be B because if you add it all up its 180

OpenStudy (yaya090600):

B is a possibility but not because it adds up to 180

OpenStudy (yaya090600):

first you should draw out the triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

the bisector would go right through the middle
