Answer:
Solution:
To classify a triangle an isosceles right triangle, it must have:
- (1) Two equal sides
- (2) Two equal angles
- (3) A 90° angle
If we look at the given triangle, we can clearly see that:
- The measure of TU is equivalent to TV [Satisfies (1)]
- We can also see a Right angle [Satisfies (3)]
- Two 45° angles in the triangle [(Satisfies (2)]
Since this triangle satisfies all the properties of an isosceles triangle, this triangle can be classified as an isosceles right triangle.
