Prove: ΔABC must be an isosceles triangle Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
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
Angle C is an inscribed angle with (1/2) the arc measure AB.
The arc measures are equal, so the inscribed angles are equal.
Those angles are two of the angles of the triangle ABC.
Therefore, ABC is an isosceles triangle.
