Parts of Isosceles Triangles The angle formed by the congruent sides is called the vertex angle. The two angles formed by the base and one of the congruent sides are called base angles. The congruent sides are called legs. leg leg base angle base angle The side opposite the vertex is the base.
Base Angles Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. If , then
Converse of Base Angles Theorem If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent. If , then
EXAMPLE 1 Apply the Base Angles Theorem Find the measures of the angles. SOLUTION Q P Since a triangle has 180°, 180 – 30 = 150° for the other two angles. Since the opposite sides are congruent, angles Q and P must be congruent. 150/2 = 75° each. (30)° R
EXAMPLE 2 Apply the Base Angles Theorem Find the measures of the angles. Q P (48)° R
EXAMPLE 3 Apply the Base Angles Theorem Find the measures of the angles. Q P (62)° R
EXAMPLE 4 Apply the Base Angles Theorem Find the value of x. Then find the measure of each angle. P SOLUTION (12x+20)° Since there are two congruent sides, the angles opposite them must be congruent also. Therefore, 12x + 20 = 20x – 4 20 = 8x – 4 24 = 8x 3 = x (20x-4)° Q R Plugging back in, And since there must be 180 degrees in the triangle,
EXAMPLE 5 Apply the Base Angles Theorem Find the value of x. Then find the measure of each angle. Q P (11x+8)° (5x+50)° R
EXAMPLE 6 Apply the Base Angles Theorem Find the value of x. Then find the length of the labeled sides. SOLUTION Q P (80)° (80)° Since there are two congruent sides, the angles opposite them must be congruent also. Therefore, 7x = 3x + 40 4x = 40 x = 10 3x+40 7x Plugging back in, QR = 7(10)= 70 PR = 3(10) + 40 = 70 R
EXAMPLE 7 Apply the Base Angles Theorem Find the value of x. Then find the length of the labeled sides. P (50)° 5x+3 (50)° R Q 10x – 2
