Given: In △ ABC, segment AC = segment BC and segment AB ≠ segment AC. segment AD is a median. Prove: segment AD cannot be perpendicular to segment BC Assume (for contradiction) that AD is perpendicular to BC CD = BD because AD is a median AD is perpendicular to BC by assumption (for contradiction) Angle ADC = Angle ABD Because AD perp. to BC AD = AD symmetric property triangle ACD congruent to triangle ABD SAS AB = AC C.P.C.T. Contradiction to segment AB ≠ segment AC. Edwin
