Isosceles Triangle TheoremVideos, worksheets, games and acivities to help Geometry students learn about the isosceles triangle theorem.
Isosceles Triangle : Isosceles triangles have at least two congruent sides and at least two congruent angles. The congruent sides, called legs, form the vertex angle. The other two congruent angles are the base angles. Isosceles triangles are used in the regular polygon area formula and isosceles right triangles are known as 45-45-90 triangles.
The Isosceles Triangle Theorem Students learn that an isosceles triangle is composed of a base, two congruent legs, two congruent base angles, and a vertex angle. Students also learn the isosceles triangle theorem, which states that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent; and the converse of the isosceles triangle theorem, which states that if two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent. Students are then asked to solve problems related to these theorems using Algebra.
Isosceles triangles a Theorems and corollaries : If two sides of a triangle are congruent, the angles opposite them are congruent. If two angles of a triangle are congruent, the sides opposite them are congruent. The altitude to the base of an isosceles triangle bisects the vertex angle. The altitude to the base of an isosceles triangle bisects the base.
Isosceles triangles b Theorems and corollaries: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, the angles opposite them are congruent. If two angles of a triangle are congruent, the sides opposite them are congruent. The altitude to the base of an isosceles triangle bisects the vertex angle. The altitude to the base of an isosceles triangle bisects the base.
