Congruent Figures and Isosceles Triangles Friday, Feb. 24. 2012 Congruent Figures and Isosceles Triangles
Warm-Up 4. Which congruence postulate or theorem proves the triangles are congruent:
HW Check
Isosceles Triangles s in which 2 or more sides are
If m<A=4x+2 and m<C=2x+20, Find x.
If m<B=x and m<A=2x+2, Find m<C.
5-1 Midsegments of Triangles
***Midsegment is parallel to the base (side it does not touch)
Midsegment = ½ * base OR Base = 2*Midsegment
Ex:1. H, J, K are midpoints a. What is the midsegment of EG: b. What is the midsegment of FE: c. What is the midsegment of FG:
d.
Ex. 2 Find x:
Ex. 3 Find x:
Ex. 4
We know AE = EB
