Stuck on 4.1 – 4.4?
Katalina Urrea and Maddie Stein ;)
Vocabulary• Base angle- angles whose vertices are the endpoints
of the base• Base of an isosceles triangle- the angles whose
vertices are the endpoints of the base of an isosceles triangle
• CPCTC- Abbreviation for “corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent”
• Corollary- A theorem that follows directly from another theorem and that can easily be proved from that theorem
• Isosceles triangle- A triangle with at least two congruent sides
• Legs of an isosceles triangle- The two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle
• Vertex angle- The opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines.
4.1
Congruent Polygons
Polygon Congruence Postulate
• Two polygons are congruent IFF (if and only if) there is a correspondence between their sides and angles such that:
-Each pair of corresponding angles are congruent
-Each pair of corresponding sides are congruent
• (Converse is true as well)
Naming Polygons
• You must name polygons in order
• The name of this polygon
is ABCDEF
• You can also name it
BCDEFA, CDEFAB
and so on, but you MUST
keep it in order.

4.4Isosceles Triangles
Isosceles Triangle Theorem (Base Angle Theorem)

• The converse is also true.

Corollaries
1) The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is the perpendicular bisector of the base.
2) The measure of each angle in an equilateral triangle is 60°.
