ยง 4.4 The Isosceles Triangle Theorem (ITT) Objective: Find measures of isosceles triangles.
Recall: Isosceles Triangle
Legs Base Base angles Vertex angle
B
A
C
ITT Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. B
ALWAYS ∠ A ≅ ∠C A
C
Converse of ITT (still called ITT)
 If two angles of a triangle are congruent, the sides opposite those angles are congruent. (AB = BC) B
A
C
Corollary’s An equilateral triangle is also equiangular
An equilateral triangle has three 60 º angles.
Another Corollary: The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base at its midpoint. B
Angle B is bisected by segment BM M is the midpoint of segment AC
