GeometryChapter 6.4 Isosceles Triangles
Objectives:• Identify properties of isosceles triangles
In Chapter 5.1 we determined an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.
From the previous demonstration, an isosceles has two congruent angles.
Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent.
Theorem 6-3: The median from the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle lies on the perpendicular bisector of the base and the angle bisector of the vertex angle.
Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent.
Theorem 6-5: A triangle is equilateral if only if it is equiangular.

GeometryChapter 6.5 Right Triangles
Objectives:• Use tests of congruence for right triangles.
In a right triangle, the side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse. The two sides that form the right angle are called legs.
If the two legs of a right triangle are congruent to two legs of second right triangle, the triangles are congruent by SAS. This leads to the following theorem.
LL Theorem: If two legs of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding legs of a second right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and acute angle of a second triangle, the triangles are congruent by AAS.
HA Theorem: If the hypotenuse and acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and acute angle of a second right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

LA Theorem: If one leg and acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of a second right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
HL Postulate: If the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of a second right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

The Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse, (c), is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs (a and b).
