Is the triangle in the diagram isosceles?
To solve the problem of determining whether the triangle in the diagram is isosceles, we first recall that an isosceles triangle is defined by having at least two equal sides or two equal angles.
Upon examining the diagram provided, we observe the triangle visually. The problem does not provide specific side lengths or angle measures, so we base our analysis on observation. In the case of an abstract or stylized diagram, typically isosceles properties would be noted or visually apparent (equal ticks on sides, angles marked as equal, etc.).
There are no such visible indicators of equal side lengths or equal angles in the diagram provided. Without explicit indications or data, the triangle appears to have all sides and angles different.
Therefore, the triangle in the diagram is not an isosceles triangle.
No
In a right triangle, the side opposite the right angle is called....?
Look for equal marks on the sides (like small lines or tick marks) or equal angle symbols. If there are no markings indicating equality, the triangle is likely scalene (all sides different).
Don't trust visual appearance alone! Diagrams aren't always drawn to scale. Without explicit markings or given measurements, you cannot conclude the triangle is isosceles.
Isosceles: Has at least 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles
Scalene: Has all 3 sides different lengths and all 3 angles different measures
Yes! A right isosceles triangle has a 90° angle and two equal sides (the legs). The two base angles would each be 45°.
Focus on what markings or information are visible. If there are no equal marks or measurements given, you cannot assume the triangle has any special properties.
