  1. 4.6 Isosceles, Equilateral, and Right Triangles Objectives: I will be able to… -Solve for missing angles and sides using properties of iso., equil., and right triangles Vocabulary: Legs, base, base angles, vertex angle

  2. Then/Now You identified isosceles and equilateral triangles. • Use properties of isosceles triangles. • Use properties of equilateral triangles.

  3. Labeling Triangles Vertex: Adjacent Side: Opposite Side: Vertex: points joining the sides of the triangle. Adjacent Side: sides sharing a common vertex. Opposite Side: side opposite from the vertex.

  4. vertex angle vertex angle vertex angle leg leg leg leg leg leg leg leg base angles base angles base base Vocabulary Isosceles: at least two congruent sides Legs: congruent sides Vertex Angle: angle between legs Base: non congruent side Base Angles: angles adjacent to the base Isosceles: Legs: Vertex Angle: Base: Base Angles:

  5. 4.6 Isosceles, Equilateral, and Right Triangles Base Angles Theorem: If 2 sides in a triangle are congruent, then the opposite base angles are congruent. B A C

  6. 4.6 Isosceles, Equilateral, and Right Triangles Converse of Base Angles Theorem: If 2 base angles in a triangle are congruent, then the opposite sides are congruent. B A C

  7. 1) In each triangle, solve for x and y. b) a) Q 2x + 7 80° B R x + 5 y° x° 3x – 9 S A C

  8. 2) Solve for x and y. 50 y° y° x° y + y + 110 = 180 x + x + 40 = 180 y = 35 x = 70

  9. Equilateral Triangles Corollary to Base Angles Theorem: If a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular. B All angles are 60° A C

  10. Equilateral Triangles Corollary to Base Angles Theorem: If a triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral. B All angles are 60° A C

  11. 3) Solve for x, y, and z. z° B x° y° A C

  12. Vocabulary Right Triangle: contains one right angle Hypotenuse: side across from right angle longest side of the triangle Legs: sides adjacent to the right angle Right Triangle: Hypotenuse:   Legs: hypotenuse leg leg

  13. 4) Classify the triangle by sides and angles. A(5, 2) B (5, 6) C (1, 6)
