Lesson 4-9: Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles Rigor: Use and apply properties of isosceles and equilateral triangles Relevance: Triangle properties are used in architecture, construction, and art.
Notes: Isosceles Triangles Isosceles triangles have at least 2 ≅ sides. Parts: Isosceles Triangle Theorem – If 2 sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent.
Notes: Isosceles Triangles continued The converse is also true! Isosceles Triangle Theorem Converse: If 2 angles of a triangle are congruent, then the opposite sides are also congruent. We will prove both of these theorems later in the chapter using congruent triangles.
Equilateral Triangle Theorem A triangle is equilateral if and only if it is equiangular. AND
Examples: Applying the triangle theorems
Examples continued: What is CB?
