1 Expert Answer
A median is an angle bisector when the vertex is the non-congruent angle of an isosceles triangle, so GE is an angle bisector.
GE is a median because it divides the opposite side DF into two equal segments DG and GF.
The median to the unequal side of an isosceles triangle is a perpendicular bisector of that side, so GE is a perpendicular bisector.
An altitude is drawn from one vertex to make a right angle with the opposite side. Since GE is a perpendicular bisector, it is also an altitude.
GE is the leg of the two right triangles DGE and FGE, so it is not an hypotenuse.
