Corollary #8-1: The bisector of the vertex angle of an
isosceles triangle bisects the base.

The bisector of the vertex angle of an x
isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base.
In other words: The median, altitude and angle bisector from
the vertex of an isosceles triangle are all the same segment.
