17. Subtract 60 from each side. Answer: mR = 60 Divide each side by 2.
Find Missing Measures
A. Find mR.
Since QP = QR, QP  QR. By the Isosceles Triangle Theorem, base angles P and R are congruent, so mP = mR . Use the Triangle Sum Theorem to write and solve an equation to find mR.
Triangle Sum Theorem
mQ = 60, mP = mR
Simplify.
Subtract 60 from each side.
Answer: mR = 60
Divide each side by 2.
Example 2

18. Find Missing Measures
B. Find PR.
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.
Answer: PR = 5 cm

21. ALGEBRA Find the value of each variable.
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°.

22. mDFE = 60 Definition of equilateral triangle 4x – 8 = 60 Substitution
Find Missing Values
mDFE = 60 Definition of equilateral triangle
4x – 8 = 60 Substitution
4x = 68 Add 8 to each side.
x = 17 Divide 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 = FE Definition of equilateral triangle
6y + 3 = 8y – 5 Substitution
3 = 2y – 5 Subtract 6y from each side.
8 = 2y Add 5 to each side.
