Given:Triangle ABC \n" ); document.write( "Segment BD is perpendicular to segment AC \n" ); document.write( "Segment BD is a median of Triangle ABC \n" ); document.write( "What kind of triangle is Triange ABC? \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "BD is perpendicular to AC. This means that angle D is 90 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Two triangles are formed: Triangle ABD and Triangle CBD. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "BD is also a median. This means that it divides AC into two equal parts.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From the given data, I gather that AB = BC but also that AB and BC do not equal AC.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I think this is an isosceles triangle. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
