Geometry Proof

Three vertices? How does that work - or am I missing something?

Re: Geometry Proof


I won't solve your homework for you, but I will give you a hint. Turn right triangle ABC into rectangle ABCD. Let the midpoint of the hypotenuse be point E. If BC is the hypotenuse of ABC, then AD is hypotenuse of ACD. Now you have a bunch of triangles that you can prove are equivilant and from there you can draw conclusions about the lengths of their sides.

Good work, Engineer.

haha i sit behind you in class

Haha ... i also sit beside you !!!

wow...

A right triangle is half a rectangle
x^2 + y^2 = r^2

Mid point of the hypotenuse is equidistant from the end points by definition.
The bisectors cross and make 4 isosceles triangles. Symmetry requires the 4
half bisectors to be equal.

Make sure to use the following chart to help you keep track of your prove:

Also, make sure to draw what you are given and apply the proper theories and postulates.
