Triangles and Isosceles Sum of angles and properties of isosceles
Triangle Sum Conjecture Conjecture – a generalization resulting from inductive reasoning Sum of angles of a triangle =180 Can you prove this without using a protractor
This is on page 201 Try and write a proof on why the angles add to 180
The proof StatementReason EC is a lineGiven AB is parallel to ECGiven 1+2+3=180def of a line 1=4AI 3=5AI 4+2+5=180Substitution
Properties of Angles Remember all the different angle properties 1.Vertical 2.Linear Pair 3.AI 4.AE 5.Corr 6.SSI
Isosceles Triangles 1.2 congruent sides - legs 2.2 congruent angles – formed by non congruent sides, base angles 3.Non Congruent side is called the base 4.Vertex – non congruent angle, formed by congruent sides
If legs are congruent then it is an isosceles triangle If base angles are congruent then it is an isosceles triangle
