Answer 9

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal lengths. This is also a right triangle, which means it forms a 90 degree angle. Therefore you can draw another side that is equal in length to AB. This side must create a 90 degree angle as the hypotenuse is the side opposite to the 90 degree angle.

Answer 10

The second equal length you draw much be creating the 90 degree angle with AB, to be clear.

Answer 11

I still don’t get it.

Answer 12

At what are you confused

Answer 13

At the part on how I should draw it...

Answer 14

Start by drawing a side equal in length to AB that creates a 90 degree angle with AB.

Answer 15

It should be clear after that

Answer 16

Have u seen the image that I took?

Answer 17

Yes, from B, Point A is 4 units up and 3 units right. Draw a line that goes 4 units up and three to the left. Same length. 90 degree angle. Do the same in the other direction.

Answer 18

From B, cant do that with A. That’s why it is the only two possible points.

Answer 19

I see.

Answer 20

So can I do for the other point of C, 4 units down and 3 units to the right?
