4.6 Isosceles Triangles

• Theorem 4.9 Isosceles Triangle Theorem– If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the

angles opposite those sides are congruent.• Theorem 4.10– If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the

sides opposite those angles are congruent.• Corollaries– 4.3 A triangle is equilateral if and only if it is

equiangular– 4.4 Each angle of an equilateral triangle measures 60°

Solve the Test Item

Angle Sum Theorem

Substitution

Add.

Subtract 120 from each side.

Divide each side by 2.

Step 1 The base angles of CDE are congruent. Let

Answer:

Name two congruent angles.

Page 12: 4.6 Isosceles Triangles

Answer:

Name two congruent segments.

By the converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem, the sides opposite congruent angles are congruent. So,
