Day 3 – Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles
Objectives: SWBAT Use properties of isosceles and equilateral triangles.
A. Properties of Isosceles Triangles
Base Angles Theorem~
If a triangle is isosceles, then the base angles are congruent.
Base Angles Theorem Converse~
If the base angles of a triangle are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles. B. Properties of Equilateral Triangles
1. All equilateral triangles are also equiangular, and vice versa.
2. If a triangle is equiangular, then each angle is 60 degrees.

Objectives: SWBAT Identify congruent figures and corresponding parts. SWBAT prove that two triangles are congruent.
A. Congruent Triangles~ Triangles with the exact same angle and side measurements.
Corresponding Angles:
Angles with the same angle measure, and are in the same position relative to each
triangle
Corresponding Sides:
Sides with the same length, and are in the same position relative to each triangle

Proving Triangles are Congruent
Objectives: SWBAT prove triangles congruent using SSS, SAS, AAS, ASA and HL
List the 5 shortcuts for proving triangles are congruent and draw a picture for each.
1. Side – Side - Side
If 3 sides of a triangle are congruent
to 3 sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
2. Side – Angle (included) - Side
If 2 sides of a triangle are congruent and the included angle is congruent 2 sides of another triangle and the
included angle, then the triangles are congruent.
3. Hypotenuse Leg (Right Triangles ONLY)
If a leg and the hypotenuse of a right Triangle is congruent to the leg and Hypotenuse of another right triangle, then
Those triangles are congruent.
4. Angle – Angle – Side (not included side)
If 2 angles of a triangle are congruent
and the not included side is congruent 2 angles of another triangle and the not
included angle, then the triangles are congruent.
5. Angle – Side (included) - Angle
If 2 angles of a triangle are congruent
and the included side is congruent 2 angles of another triangle and the
included angle, then the triangles are congruent.
Determine if the following Triangles are congruent and if so why? If not why? *****SIMPLY PUTTING SSS AND SAS IS NOT SUFFICIENT*****
Ex I Ex II
Ex III Ex IV
Ex V Ex VI
Given two pairs of congruent sides; the two triangles share side DB; therefore the triangles are congruent by SSS.
Both triangles are right triangles. Given one pair of right angles is congruent, they share EG, and all right angles are congruent. The triangles are congruent by SAS
Given two pairs of congruent sides, and the included angle is also congruent. Hence, the triangles are congruent because of SAS.
Given three pairs of congruent sides, then the triangles are congruent by SSS.
Given one pair of congruent angles, and one pair of congruent sides, they triangles share one side. So the triangles are congruent by SAS.
Given three sides are congruent, then the triangles are congruent by SSS. OR Given two sides are congruent and <𝑿𝒀𝑾 ≅ < 𝒁𝒀𝑼 by Vertical Angles are congruent, so they are congruent by SAS.

Both triangles are right triangles. Given one pair of congruent legs, and they share the hypotenuse. Therefore, the triangles are congruent by HL.
Both triangles are right triangles. Given one pair of congruent hypotenuses, and they share a leg. Therefore, the triangles are congruent by HL.
There is not enough information to prove that these triangles are congruent (can’t assume right angles for HL).
Both triangles are right triangles. Given one pair of congruent hypotenuses, and they share a leg. Therefore, the triangles ∆𝑻𝑺𝑼 ≅ ∆𝑼𝑸𝑻 are congruent by HL.
Because there are multiple triangles, you must specify which triangles are congruent.
Both triangles are right triangles. Given congruent hypotenuses; midpoint means
that AF FE . Therefore triangles are congruent by HL.

Using Congruent Triangles
Given two pairs of congruent angles, and the two triangles share the non-included side; then the triangles are congruent by AAS.
Given a congruent side; an angle since all right angles are congruent, and < 𝑴𝑶𝑵 ≅<𝑷𝑶𝑸 are Vertical Angles. Then the triangles are congruent by AAS.
Not enough information to prove the triangles congruent. One triangle is trying to use ASA, and the other AAS. They have to use the same one
Given ∆𝑮𝑲𝑳 ≅ ∆𝑯𝑳𝑲 are right triangles and all right angles are congruent. Given one pair of congruent sides, and they share KL. Therefore the triangles are congruent by SAS.
Given that all right angles are congruent and < 𝑮𝑯𝑳 ≅< 𝑱𝑯𝑲 are Vertical Angles, and the included side is congruent. The triangles are congruent by ASA.
Given that all right angles are congruent, a given non included side, and a given angle; then the triangles are congruent by AAS.
