Help please! Prove that the sides opposite the congruent base angles of a triangle are congruent. Be sure to create and name the appropriate geometric figures.

I don't understand the question.

As AM is the median we BM=MC, MA=MA, and B=C, thus triangle are congruent. As the triangles are congruent then their sides are congruent, thus AB=AC

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

or even more easier: If base angles are congruent then triangle is isosceles, and thus AB=AC

I understood that completely, thank you. Am I supposed to be proving the Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem bascially?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

yeah basically you do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay awesome! Thank you so much for your help! :)
