The Isosceles Triangle Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. Iso. Thm.
Corollary 1 An equilateral triangle is also equiangular. Why does this come from the Isosceles Triangle Theorem?
Corollary 2 An equilateral triangle has three 60o angles.
Corollary 3 The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base at its midpoint. Proof Plan:
