  2. 4.5 Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles Isosceles Triangle: Vertex Angle Leg Leg Base Angles Base *The Base Angles are Congruent*

  3. Isosceles Triangles • Theorem 4-3 Isosceles Triangle Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent B <A = <C A C

  4. Isosceles Triangles • Theorem 4-4 Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent B Given: <A = <C Conclude: AB = CB A C

  5. Isosceles Triangles • Theorem 4-5 The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is the perpendicular bisector of the base B Given: <ABD = <CBD Conclude: AD = DC and BD is ┴ to AC A C D

  6. Equilateral Triangles • Corollary: Statement that immediately follows a theorem Corollary to Theorem 4-3: If a triangle is equilateral, then the triangle is equiangular Corollary to Theorem 4-4: If a triangle is equiangular, then the triangle is equilateral
