  • Isosceles triangles

Overview

Equal sides ↔ equal base angles; apex bisector, median, and altitude coincide.

Explanation

Isosceles: equal legs ⇒ equal base angles (and conversely).
The apex bisector, base median, and base altitude are the same line.
Drawing the base altitude often unlocks congruence or length calculations.

How to use

Drag apex A and base point C; watch equal legs, base angles, and the triple line.
