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. 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

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

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°.

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.
