In this lesson: Use the isosceles property and its converse and complete simple proof steps through congruence.

How to proceed: You have three pairs of congruent sides, so use SSS. After congruence you may conclude that corresponding vertex angles are congruent.

You can already assume: Triangle congruence criteria.

Try it now

Choose the criterion and then the correct consequence.

How to reason

You have three pairs of congruent sides, so use SSS. After congruence you may conclude that corresponding vertex angles are congruent.

Given data: ABC is isosceles with AB=AC. D is the midpoint of BC, so BD=DC; AD is common.
