  1. Chapter 4.7 Notes: Use Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles Goal: You will use theorems about isosceles and equilateral triangles.

  2. When an isosceles triangle has exactly two congruent sides, these two sides are called the legs. • The angle formed by the legs is the vertex angle. • The third side is the base of the isosceles triangle. • The two angles adjacent to the base are called the base angles.

  3. Theorem 4.7 Base Angles Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. • Theorem 4.8 Converse of Base Angles Theorem: If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent.

  4. Ex.1: In Name two congruent angles. Ex.2: Copy and complete the statement. a. If then b. If then

  5. Equilateral Triangles: • Equilateral triangles have three congruent sides. • Corollary to the Base Angles Theorem: If a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular. • Corollary to the Converse of Base Angles Theorem: If a triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral.

  6. Ex.3: Find the measures of Ex.4: Find the measures of
