  2. vertex angle legs base base angles Isosceles Triangles • The congruent sides of an isosceles triangles are called it legs. • The third side is the base. • The two congruent sides form the vertex angle. • The other two angles are the base angles.

  3. C A B Theorem 4-3 Isosceles Triangle Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. A  B

  4. Given: AC  BC Prove: A  B (hint: draw an angle bisector for C) Statements Reasons C A B

  5. C AC  BC A B Theorem 4-4 Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite the angles are congruent.

  6. C CD  AB and CD bisects AB A D B Theorem 4-5 The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is the perpendicular bisector of the base.

  7. Y Z X • A corollary is a statement that follows immediately from a theorem. • Corollary to Theorem 4-3 • If a triangle is equilateral, then the triangle is equiangular. X  Y  Z

  8. Y XY  YZ  ZX Z X • Corollary to Theorem 4-4 • If a triangle is equiangular, then the triangle is equilateral.
