Exercise 39 Page 593

An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.

See solution.

Practice makes perfect

Let's illustrate the bent strip of metal.

To create an isosceles triangle, we have to bend the 14-inch piece so that we get, for the whole strip, two sides with the same length. For example, we can bend it to obtain two sides that are 6 inches and one that is 8 inches long. Notice that we have to adjust the angle of the first bend.
