Today, we will understand isosceles and equilateral triangles
And
You will be able to find angle measures and side lengths in these triangles
Using Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles
Isosceles Triangle
Legs –
Vertex angle –
Base –
Base angles –
Base Angles Theorem – If two sides of a triangle are
congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent.
Converse of Base Angles Theorem – If two angles of a
triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent.
Equilateral Triangle
Corollary to the Base Angles Theorem – If a triangle is
equilateral, then it is equiangular.
Corollary to the Converse of Base Angles Theorem – If a
triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral.
