The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle separates the triangle into two congruent triangles


The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle separates the triangle into two congruent triangles
 Bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle
Given
Isosceles triangle ABC with AB = AC
AO bisects ,


Prove


Proof

1: AB=AC - Given
2: - Given

3: AO = AO - Identity

- From 1,2,3 - If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent (SAS)
