Triangle ACA' has two equal sides, based on the side lengths, triangle ACA' can be classified as: an isosceles triangle.
Recall:
- An isosceles triangle has two equal side lengths which lie opposite each other.
Given that triangle ABC is a right triangle, if we reflect it across line BC, we will have mirror figure of right triangle ABC, forming triangle ACA'.
That is, two right triangles of ABC, which are reflections of each other, will form triangle ACA'. (See image attached).
Thus, this means that:
- A'B = AB (congruent sides)
Therefore,
Also, CA = C'A (congruent sides)
This means that, triangle ACA' has two equal sides that are opposite to each other.
Therefore, based on the side lengths, triangle ACA' can be classified as: an isosceles triangle.
