To prove that the perpendiculars from the vertices B and C to their opposite sides are equal in an isosceles triangle ABC where AB = AC, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Draw the Triangle Draw triangle ABC such that AB = AC. Let D be the foot of the perpendicular from B to AC, and E be the foot of the perpendicular from C to AB. ### Step 2: Identify the Perpendiculars Label the lengths of the perpendiculars BD and CE, where BD is the length of the perpendicular from B to AC and CE is the length of the perpendicular from C to AB. ...
