A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II
E. I, II, and III

In the given diagram which of the following can you use to prove that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle Show the slopes of AB and CD are negative reciprocal class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is I and II so .D

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that triangle ABC is isosceles triangle, we need to show all the three given conditions. Thus, answer is E. I,II and III.

What is isosceles triangle?

An isosceles triangle therefore has both two equal sides and two equal angles.

When, the slopes of AB and CD are negative reciprocals, ∠ADC =∠CDB =  90°.

Also CD = AD implies that ∠CAD = ∠DCA and CD = DB implies that ∠DCB = ∠DBC.

In triangle ACD, ∠ACD + ∠ADC + ∠ CAD = 180°.

= ∠ACD + 90 +  ∠ CAD = 180

= ∠ACD + ∠ CAD = 90

(∠ACD = ∠ CAD)

∠ACD = ∠ CAD = 45°

Similarly, ∠DCB = ∠DBC =45°

This implies, ∠CAB = ∠CBA = 45°

Implying thereby, triangle ABC is isosceles triangle.
