Isosceles Triangle Isosceles Triangles are triangles with AT LEAST two congruent sides. Legs of an isosceles triangle are the two congruent sides. Base of an isosceles triangle is the non-congruent side. Leg Leg Base
Isosceles Triangle Base Leg Base Leg Leg Leg
Base Angles of Isosceles triangles are ALWAYS CONGRUENT!! Isosceles Triangle - Angles Isosceles Triangles are triangles with AT LEAST two congruent sides. Vertex Angle – always across from the base Base Angles – always across from the congruent sides. Base Angles of Isosceles triangles are ALWAYS CONGRUENT!! Vertex Angle Base Angle Base Angle
Isosceles Right Triangle What must the measures of the base angles of an isosceles right triangle be? 45° 90°/2 = 45° Base = Hypotenuse Leg 45° Leg

Equilateral Triangle Equilateral Triangles are triangles with ALL sides congruent.
Equilateral Triangle Equilateral Triangles must also have all three ANGLES congruent.
Equilateral Triangle = Equiangular Triangle Equiangular Triangle - a triangle where all ANGLES are congruent. What must the interior angle measures of an equilateral/equiangular triangle be? 60° 180°/3 = 60° 60° 60°
