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( "
