if the median drawn on the base of a triangle is half its base, the triangle will be?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Sketch the triangle as it was described.
\n" ); document.write( "The median breaks the original triangle into 2 identical triangles.
\n" ); document.write( "The median equals the base in each of those triangles.
\n" ); document.write( "So each of the triangles is 45-45-90
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the sum of the base angles of the original triangle is 45+45 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "So the vertex angle must be 90 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: right triangle
