document.write( "In any isosceles triangle, the legs are congruent.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, if one leg of one isosceles triangle is congruent to one leg\r\n" );
document.write( "of the other isosceles triangle, then the other leg of the first \r\n" );
document.write( "isosceles triangle is congruent to the other leg of the second isosceles triangle.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus the sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of the other triangle.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "According to the SSS test of congruency for triangles, the triangles themselves are congruent.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, their vertex angles are congruent, since these angles are corresponding angles.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "At this point, the proof is complete.\r\n" );
