Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles Chapter 4 Section 5 Today’s Objective Students will use and apply properties of isosceles and equilateral triangles. Isosceles Triangles Vertex Angle Leg Base Angle Leg Base ****Label your triangle exactly like this one! Base Angle Legs Legs are congruent They connect the base to the vertex angle. Base The third side of an isosceles triangle. It is always opposite the vertex angle. Vertex Angle Created by the intersection of both legs. It is always opposite the base Base Angles Created by the intersection of the base and the legs. Vertex angles are congruent to each other. Isosceles Triangle Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent. Turn to page 251 Look at Problem 1 Try the “Got It” problem for this example. Theorem 4-5 If a line bisects the vertex angle of a isosceles triangle, then the line is also the perpendicular bisector of the base. Turn to page 252 Look at problem 2 Try the “Got It” problem on your own. Corollary to Theorem 4-3 If the triangle is equilateral, then the triangle is equiangular. All equilateral triangles are equiangular. Corollary to Theorem 4-4 If a triangle is equiangular, then the triangle is equilateral. All equiangular triangles are equilateral. Turn to page 253. Look at problem 3 On page 253… Try problems #1-5 on your own.
