The triangle is equilateral. Given
<K = < M = 60 Property of an equilateral triangle.
IE = IE Reflexive property
Proof
- <IEK = <IEM = 90 Property of perpendicular
- <EIK = 180 - 60 - 90 All triangles have 180 degrees
- <EIK = 30 Subtraction
- <MIK = 180 - 60 - 90 All triangles have 180 degrees
- <MIK = 30 Subtraction
- <MIE = <KIE Both = 30 degrees
- IE = IE Reflexive property
- <IEK = <MEI Both are right angles.
- ΔMIK ≡ΔKIE ASA
