15. Example 2 Find Missing Measures A. Find m  R. Triangle Sum Theorem m  Q = 60, m  P = m  R Simplify. Subtract 60 from each side. Divide each side by 2. Answer: m  R = 60

16. Since all three angles measure 60, the triangle is equiangular. Because an equiangular triangle is also equilateral, QP = QR = PR. Since QP = 5, PR = 5 by substitution. Example 2 Find Missing Measures B. Find PR. Answer: PR = 5 cm

17. Example 2a A.30° B.45° C.60° D.65° A. Find m  T.

18. Example 2b A.1.5 B.3.5 C.4 D.7 B. Find TS.

19. Example 3 Find Missing Values ALGEBRA Find the value of each variable. Since  E =  F, DE  FE by the Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem. DF  FE, so all of the sides of the triangle are congruent. The triangle is equilateral. Each angle of an equilateral triangle measures 60°.

20. Example 3 Find Missing Values m  DFE= 60Definition of equilateral triangle 4x – 8 = 60Substitution 4x= 68Add 8 to each side. x= 17Divide each side by 4. The triangle is equilateral, so all the sides are congruent, and the lengths of all of the sides are equal. DF= FEDefinition of equilateral triangle 6y + 3= 8y – 5Substitution 3= 2y – 5Subtract 6y from each side. 8= 2yAdd 5 to each side.

21. Example 3 Find Missing Values 4= yDivide each side by 2. Answer: x = 17, y = 4

22. Example 3 A.x = 20, y = 8 B.x = 20, y = 7 C.x = 30, y = 8 D.x = 30, y = 7 Find the value of each variable.
