5. The Triangle Inequality
Sign In
You can draw an isosceles triangle by considering any point on the perpendicular bisector of the 2-inch segment. Pick the appropriate point for each case.
Example Solution:
Let's consider a 2-inch segment AB. Next, we will consider its perpendicular bisector.
We have drawn the first required triangle. Doing a similar process we can draw the second triangle, just keep in mind that AB must be the longest side. As an example, below we show two possible isosceles triangles.
Notice that this is just one way to draw the required triangles, and so your answer may vary.
