Question

In an isosceles triangle AB=AC and B=65°.which is the shortest side

Answer 1

If AB= AC and B= 65°
Then shortest side will be BC.

Answer 2

hey there...

the characteristic of an isoceles traingle... is that the base angles are always equal.. and two sides are equal.

so now we know AB=AC and angle B is 65.

anyle b is the base angle and C is also the base angle so

angle B= angle C

so angle C is 65.

last angle is 180-(65+65)

= 180- 130

=50

angle A is 50.

as the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180

now they are asking us to find the shortest side... that is .. the shortest side will CB and the longest sides in an isoceles trinagle are the same sides that are AB and AC

hope this helps!
