Lesson 6-4 Isosceles Triangles
Ohio Content Standards:
Formally define geometric figures.
Ohio Content Standards: Formally define and explain key aspects of geometric figures, including: a. interior and exterior angles of polygons; b. segments related to triangles (median, altitude, midsegment); c. points of concurrency related to triangles (centroid, incenter, orthocenter, and circumcenter); d. circles (radius, diameter, chord, circumference, major arc, minor arc, sector, segment, inscribed angle).
Isosceles Triangle:
A triangle that has a least two congruent sides.
Isosceles Triangle: legs The congruent sides are called legs.
Isosceles Triangle: base The side opposite the vertex angle is called the base.
Isosceles Triangle: Vertex Angle Leg Base Angles
Theorem 6-2 Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent.
