4.2 Properties of Special Triangles Year 2 Geometry
Investigation #1(optional) Draw an angle on patty paper. Label the angle C. Put point A on one ray. Fold the patty paper so both rays match. Copy point A on the other ray and label it B. Construct line segment AB.
Investigation #1 continued What type of triangle is this? How can you tell? Name the vertex angle. Name the base. Name the base angles (2). ISOSCELES! TWO SIDES ARE CONGRUENT!
Isosceles Triangle Conjecture If a triangle is isosceles, then its base angles are ______________? CONGRUENT Base angles
Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Conjecture If a triangle has two congruent angles, then _________________________________? THE TRIANGLE IS ISOSCELES
Example #1 70° xx
Example #2 Find x and y. x y 24°
Example #3 Find x and the measure of each angle. 37° 106°
