How is it determined that OPQ is isosceles?

The points are both a part of the circle and they state O is the center. Every radius of a single circle has the same length, therefore OP and OQ are equal. By default, their angles are equal and the rest you can figure out I'm sure

Vicki, thanks for the post. It is isosceles (having 2 equal sides) because it is in a circle, and OP and OQ are radii of the circle, hence they are of the same length.

You need to be signed in to perform that action.
