3. 4.1 Classifying Triangles
Triangle – A figure formed when three noncollinear points are connected by segments.
The sides are DE, EF, and DF.
The vertices are D, E, and F.
The angles are D,  E,  F.

7. Try These:
 ABC has angles that measure 110, 50, and 20. Classify the triangle by its angles.
 RST has sides that measure 3 feet, 4 feet, and 5 feet. Classify the triangle by its sides.

8. Opposite Side- opposite the vertex ex. DF is opposite E.
Adjacent Sides- share a vertex ex. The sides DE & EF are adjacent to E.
Opposite Side- opposite the vertex ex. DF is opposite E. E F D

9. Parts of Isosceles Triangles
The angle formed by the congruent sides is called the vertex angle.
The two angles formed by the base and one of the congruent sides are called base angles.
The congruent sides are called legs.

The side opposite the vertex is the base.

10. Base Angles Theorem
If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent.
If , then

11. Converse of Base Angles Theorem
If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent.
If , then

12. Apply the Base Angles Theorem
EXAMPLE 1
Apply the Base Angles Theorem
Find the measures of the angles.
SOLUTION Q P
Since a triangle has 180°, 180 – 30 = 150° for the other two angles.
Since the opposite sides are congruent, angles Q and P must be congruent.
150/2 = 75° each.

15. EXAMPLE 4
Apply the Base Angles Theorem
Find the value of x. Then find the measure of each angle. P
SOLUTION
(12x+20)°
Since there are two congruent sides, the angles opposite them must be congruent also. Therefore, 12x + 20 = 20x – 4
20 = 8x – 4
24 = 8x
3 = x
(20x-4)° Q R
Plugging back in,
And since there must be 180 degrees in the triangle,

(80)°
Since there are two congruent sides, the angles opposite them must be congruent also. Therefore, 7x = 3x + 40
4x = 40
x = 10
3x+40 7x
Plugging back in,
QR = 7(10)= 70
PR = 3(10) + 40 = 70 R
