Algebra.Com's Answer #761852 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw this out and notice that angle A is an inscribed angle that is 1/2 the arc measure BC \n" ); document.write( "Angle C is an inscribed angle with (1/2) the arc measure AB. \n" ); document.write( "The arc measures are equal, so the inscribed angles are equal. \n" ); document.write( "Those angles are two of the angles of the triangle ABC. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, ABC is an isosceles triangle. \n" ); document.write( " |
