PPT-Isosceles Triangles

Sec 45 Sol G5 Properties of Isosceles Triangles An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two congruent sides The congruent sides are called legs and the third side is called the base 3. A geometric realization of a proof in . H. Wu’s “Teaching Geometry According to the Common Core Standards”. B. A. C. c. a. b. Given a right triangle . . ABC with legs . a. and . b. and hypotenuse . Written by: Jack S. . Calcut. Presented by: Ben Woodford. (pay attention: there Will be a test at the end). Definitions. An . angle is . rational . provided it is commensurable with a straight . angle; equivalently. Which is the correct definition of isosceles?. a.) a triangle with at least 2 congruent sides. b.) a triangle with exactly 2 congruent sides. 4.5 Isosceles Triangles. LEQ: How can we use properties of isosceles triangles to construct proofs?. Symmetry. The image is exactly the same on both sides… therefore it is reflected across the line of symmetry.. WARM UP:. Draw lines of Symmetry for the shapes on the worksheet. MOST lines of Symmetry. 4.2. SSS Postulate (Just call it SSS). If . three sides of one triangle . are congruent to. three sides of another triangle, . then the triangles are congruent.. SAS Postulate (Just call it SAS). If . A. . = . B. . C. . D. . = .  . Warm-Up. ~Write one sentence explaining what answer you chose.. ~Write one sentence explaining what answers you were able to eliminate.. Polygons and Triangles. The word polygon means many (poly) angles (gon). This includes triangles, squares, rectangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, . Triangles. Isosceles Triangles. leg. leg. base. Vertex angle. Base angle. Base angle. 2 sides are congruent. 2 theorems. If 2 sides are congruent, then base angles are congruent. If 2 . base angles . If triangles are similar are other things similar as well. Proportional Parts Conjecture. If two triangles are similar, then the length of the corresponding altitudes, medians, and angle bisectors are proportional to the lengths of the corresponding sides. This shows similar Triangles. Honors Geometry. CCHS. Which rule proves the triangles congruent?. . ASA. What rule proves the triangles congruent?. . SAS. What rule proves the triangles congruent?.

Peter Heath: "An inveterate publisher of trifles [who] was forever putting out pamphlets, papers, broadsheets, and books on mathematical topics [that] earned him no reputation beyond that of a crotchety, if sometimes amusing, controversialist, a compiler of puzzles and curiosities, and a busy yet ineffective reformer on elementary points of computation and instructional method. In the higher reaches of the subject he made no mark at all, and has left none since." . of a trapezoid. :. __________________________________________________. __________________________________________________.  .
