  1. 4-9 Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles Warm Up Lesson Presentation Lesson Quiz Holt McDougal Geometry Holt Geometry

  2. Warm Up • 1. Find each angle measure. • True or False. If false explain. • 2. Every equilateral triangle is isosceles. • 3. Every isosceles triangle is equilateral. 60°; 60°; 60° True False; an isosceles triangle can have only two congruent sides.

  3. Objectives Prove theorems about isosceles and equilateral triangles. Apply properties of isosceles and equilateral triangles.

  4. Vocabulary legs of an isosceles triangle vertex angle base base angles

  5. COPY THIS SLIDE: Recall that an isosceles triangle has at least two congruent sides. The congruent sides are called the legs. The vertex angle is the angle formed by the legs. The side opposite the vertex angle is called the base, and the base angles are the two angles that have the base as a side. 3 is the vertex angle. 1 and 2 are the base angles.

  6. COPY THIS SLIDE:

  7. Example 2A: Finding the Measure of an Angle COPY THIS SLIDE: Find mF. mF= mD = x° Isosc. ∆ Thm. mF+ mD + mA = 180 ∆ Sum Thm. Substitute the given values. x+ x + 22 = 180 Simplify and subtract 22 from both sides. 2x= 158 Divide both sides by 2. x= 79 Thus mF = 79°

  8. Example 2B: Finding the Measure of an Angle COPY THIS SLIDE: Find mG. mJ= mG Isosc. ∆ Thm. Substitute the given values. (x+ 44) = 3x Simplify x from both sides. 44= 2x Divide both sides by 2. x= 22 Thus mG = 22° + 44° = 66°.

  9. Check It Out! Example 2A COPY THIS SLIDE: Find mH. mH= mG = x° Isosc. ∆ Thm. mH+ mG + mF = 180 ∆ Sum Thm. Substitute the given values. x+ x + 48 = 180 Simplify and subtract 48 from both sides. 2x= 132 Divide both sides by 2. x= 66 Thus mH = 66°

  10. Check It Out! Example 2B COPY THIS SLIDE: Find mN. mP= mN Isosc. ∆ Thm. Substitute the given values. (8y – 16) = 6y Subtract 6y and add 16 to both sides. 2y= 16 Divide both sides by 2. y= 8 Thus mN = 6(8) =48°.

  12. COPY THIS SLIDE:

  13. Example 3A: Using Properties of Equilateral Triangles COPY THIS SLIDE: Find the value of x. ∆LKM is equilateral. Equilateral ∆  equiangular ∆ The measure of each  of an equiangular ∆ is 60°. (2x + 32) = 60 Subtract 32 both sides. 2x= 28 Divide both sides by 2. x= 14

  14. Example 3B: Using Properties of Equilateral Triangles COPY THIS SLIDE: Find the value of y. ∆NPO is equiangular. Equiangular ∆  equilateral ∆ Definition of equilateral ∆. 5y – 6 = 4y + 12 Subtract 4y and add 6 to both sides. y= 18

  15. Check It Out! Example 3 COPY THIS SLIDE: Find the value of JL. ∆JKL is equiangular. Equiangular ∆  equilateral ∆ Definition of equilateral ∆. 4t – 8 = 2t + 1 Subtract 4y and add 6 to both sides. 2t= 9 t= 4.5 Divide both sides by 2. Thus JL= 2(4.5) + 1 =10.
