Explore the properties and theorems related to isosceles triangles, including congruent sides, base angles, equiangular angles, and equilateral triangles. Learn how to apply AAS and explore corollaries to base angle theorems.

The two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle. The angle made by the intersection of the legs of an isosceles triangle The non-congruent side of an isosceles triangle (Base does NOT mean it's got to be at the bottom) The angles formed by the base and legs of an isosceles triangle.

∠H ≅ ∠J 15 Since ∆DCA is equilateral and ∆DCA ≅ ∆BAC, both angles BAC and DAC are 60. m∠BAD = m∠BAC + m∠DAC m∠BAD = 60 + 60 m∠BAD = 120
