CPM Homework Help : CCG Problem 5-89

Triangle D, E, F, with angle, D, labeled 54 degrees, and angle, F, labeled 54 degrees. Lizzie noticed that two angles in $ΔDEF$ , shown at right, have the same measure. Based on this information, what statement can you make about the relationship between $\overline{ED}$ and $\overline{EF}$ ?

Answer:

They must have equal lengths, because if base angles are equal, then the sides opposite them are equal and the triangle is isosceles.
