Given triangle ABC. And given that it’s a common 3-4-5 right triangle. (this still qualifies as a scalene)
So
AB = 4
BC = 3
AC = 5 is the hypotenuse
If Angle A was bisected, do the two newly formed triangles have the same area? And would the bisecting line hit the midpoint of BC?
Is there a triangle law that applies to this question? My inital thought is that the bisecting angle line doen't not necessaily cross the midpoint of BC. looking for a proof or any help.
Thanks!
