CONGRUENCE OF TRIANGLES D2



Prove that the following triangle is isosceles.



Solution

Given: triangle UTW with T produced to V.
Required to prove: ∆UTW is isosceles
Proof: 

UV = VW (given)

<UVT = <WVT = 900 (given)

TV = VT (common line)

∆UVT ≡ ∆WVT by SAS rule 

TU = TW (Equal corresponding sides)

Hence ∆ UTW is isosceles (proved)
