Abstract

We prove that (a) a generalization of the Steiner–Lehmus theorem due to A. Henderson holds in Bachmann’s standard ordered metric planes, (b) that a variant of Steiner–Lehmus holds in all metric planes, and (c) that the fact that a triangle with two congruent medians is isosceles holds in Hjelmslev planes without double incidences of characteristic ≠ 3.
