  1. Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles

  2. Isosceles Triangle – Triangle with two congruent sides. • The congruent sides are the legs. • The third side is the base. • The two legs form the vertex angle. • The other two angles are the base angles. Legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent. Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent.

  3. Isosceles Triangle Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent.

  4. Proof of Isosceles Triangle Theorem Given: Prove: This proof requires an auxiliary line.

  5. Converse ofIsosceles Triangle Theorem If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent.

  6. Theorem If a line bisects the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle, then the line is also the perpendicular bisector of the base.

  7. Equilateral Triangle – Triangle with three congruent sides.

  8. Corollary – A theorem that can be proved using another theorem.

  9. Corollary If a triangle is equilateral, then the triangle is equiangular.

  10. Corollary If a triangle is equiangular, then the triangle is equilateral.
