Question

Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F):  

If the bisector of the vertical angle of a triangle bisects the base, then the triangle may be isosceles.

Solution

False (F)
Reason: The angular bisector of the vertex angle is also a median
⇒  The triangle must be an isosceles and also may be an equilateral triangle.
