ISOSCELES TRIANGLE

ISOSCELES TRIANGLE -

An isosceles triangle is a type of triangle that has at least two sides of equal length. The two equal sides are called the legs, and the third side is called the base. Here are some key properties of an isosceles triangle:

  • Equal angles:- The angles opposite the equal sides are also equal.
  • Symmetry:- The triangle has an axis of symmetry that passes through the vertex opposite the base and the midpoint of the base.
  • Height:- The perpendicular drawn from the vertex to the base is the height, and it also bisects the base.

The isosceles triangle can be further classified as:-

  • Acute isosceles triangle:- All angles are less than 90°.
  • Right isosceles triangle:- One angle is exactly 90°.
  • Obtuse isosceles triangle:- One angle is greater than 90°.
