Answer:

True

Explanation:

Given that XYA is a triangle with base AX

YZ is the perpendicular bisector of AX

Consider triangles XYZ and AYZ

We have

Angle XZY = angle AZY ( 90 degrees)

XZ = ZA (mid point property)

YZ=YZ (reflexive)

BY SAS congruence we get

the two triangles are congruent.

A) True is the answer
