Angle POM = Angle QOM in a right triangle

Here is one way to prove that angle POM = angle QOM in triangle OPQ, where OM is the altitude of the triangle and PM = MQ:

  • Draw the altitude of triangle OPQ, which is OM.
  • Draw a line segment PM, which is equal to MQ.
  • Now we have two right triangles, POM and QOM, which share a hypotenuse of OM and have legs PM and MQ respectively.
  • Since PM = MQ, these two legs are congruent.
  • By the converse of the Pythagorean theorem, if the legs of a right triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite to those legs are congruent.
  • Therefore, angle POM = angle QOM.
