If KHJKJH, then ?? . If KHJKJH, then ?? . If HG HK, then ?? . ANSWER HGK, HKG ANSWER KH, KJ Guided Practice Copy and complete each statement.
Find the measures of P, Q, and R. The diagram shows that PQRis equilateral. Therefore, by the Corollary to the Base Angles Theorem, PQRis equiangular. So, m P = m Q = m R. o 3(m P) = 180 Triangle Sum Theorem o m P = 60 Divide each side by 3. ANSWER The measures of P, Q, and Rare all 60°. Example 2
Find STin the triangle at the right. Is it possible for an equilateral triangle to have an angle measure other than 60°? Explain. ANSWER No; The Triangle Sum Theorem and the fact that the triangle is equilateral guarantees the angles measure 60° because all pairs of angles could be considered base angles of an isosceles triangle. ANSWER 5 Guided Practice
Find the values of x and yin the diagram. ALGEBRA STEP 1 Find the value of y. Because KLNis equiangular, it is also equilateral and KN KL. Therefore, y = 4. Example 3 SOLUTION
STEP 2 Find the value of x. Because LNM LMN, LN LMand LMNis isosceles. You also know that LN = 4 because KLNis equilateral. Example 3 LN = LM Definition of congruent segments 4 = x + 1 Substitute 4 for LNand x + 1 for LM. 3 = x Subtract 1 from each side.
In the lifeguard tower, PS QRand QPS PQR. What congruence postulate can you use to prove that QPS PQR? Draw and label QPSand PQRso that they do not overlap. You can see that PQ QP, PS QR, and QPS PQR. So, by the SASPostulate, QPS PQR. Example 4 Lifeguard Tower SOLUTION
In the lifeguard tower, PS QRand QPS PQR. Explain why PQTis isosceles. From part (a), you know that 1 2 because corresp. parts of are . By the Converse of the Base Angles Theorem, PT QT, and PQTis isosceles. Example 4 Lifeguard Tower SOLUTION
You know that PS QR, and 3 4 because corresp. parts of are . Also, PTS QTRby the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem. So, In the lifeguard tower, PS QRand QPS PQR. PTS QTRby the AAS Congruence Theorem. Show thatPTS QTR. Example 4 Lifeguard Tower SOLUTION
Find the values of x and yin the diagram. ANSWER x = 60 y = 120 Guided Practice
Use parts (b) and (c) in Example 4 and the SSS Congruence Postulate to give a different proof that PTS QTR ANSWER By the Segment Addition PostulateQT + TS=QSandPT + TR=PR. SincePTQTfrom part (b) andTSTRfrom part (c), thenQSPR. PQPQby the Reflexive Property and it is given thatPSQR, thereforeQPSPQRby the SSS Congruence Postulate. Guided Practice
