easy

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

|dw:1449982972647:dw| in isosceles triangle, median is a height and a bisector. thus

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

thus angle BMA=CMA=90° Thus the triangle AMB=AMC. => angle B=angle C

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

they are equal because of SAS

OpenStudy (help_people):
