Learning Objective

I can apply properties of isosceles and equilateral triangles to determine unknown angle measures and side lengths.

  • 1

    In an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are congruent, meaning they have the same measure.

  • 2

    If all three sides of a triangle are congruent, then all three angles are congruent and each angle measures 60 degrees, making it an equilateral triangle.

  • 3

    If two sides of a triangle are congruent, the angles opposite those sides are congruent, and the sum of all angles in the triangle equals 180 degrees.
