draw an isosceles triangle. from the midpt. of each leg, draw a perpendicular segment to the base. prove that these segments are congruent.
how do you do a two column proof?! help quick! thanks.

Your description is not correct. So let ABC be the triangle where angles B and C are equal. Let DE be perpendicular bisector of AB and FG be the p.b. of AC respectively, where G and E are on segment BC extended. Prove that FG= DE
BD=FG half of equals are equal
angle BDE = angle CFG right angles
Angle FCG=angle ABE isoc angles
Tri DBE=Tri FCG ASA=ASA
FG=DE Corres. sides of cong triangles are equal.

how can you draw a segment from the midpoint of each leg to the "base". Which base?
