What is an isosceles triangle? Is an equilateral triangle also isosceles? How often? So does that mean that everything we learn about isosceles triangles is also true for equilateral triangles?

The Isosceles Triangle Theorem Some additional information that will allow us to prove more triangles congruent The Isosceles Triangle Theorem If 2 sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. A B C

This can be proven by the following proof. Given : Prove: B C

Corollaries that follow An equilateral triangle is also equiangular An equilateral triangle has three 60° angles The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base at its midpoint (the bisector of the vertex angle is the perpendicular bisector of the base)

Given: Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle with base BC. Prove: AX is perpendicular bisector of BC. A B C

Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem If 2 angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent. A B C
