Notes section 4.7
Download as PPT, PDF0 likes642 views
This document contains theorems and examples regarding isosceles and equilateral triangles. Theorem 4.7 states that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. Theorem 4.8 is the converse of 4.7 - if two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent. The document then provides examples applying these theorems to find unknown side lengths and angle measures of various triangles. It also introduces the midsegment theorem, which states that the segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length, along with examples applying this theorem.

Notes section 4.7
- 1. Section 4.7 Use Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles
- 2. THEOREM 4.7: BASE ANGLES THEOREM If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. If AB AC, then B C
- 3. THEOREM 4.8: CONVERSE OF BASE ANGLES THEOREM If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent. If B C, then AB AC.
- 4. Example 1 Find the unknown measure.
- 5. Example 2: Find the value of x.
- 6. Example 3: Find the values of x and y.
- 7. Example 4: Find the perimeter of the triangle.
- 8. Example 5: Garden You plant a garden in the shape of a triangle as shown in the figure. What is the perimeter
- 9. Find the measures of R, S, and T.
- 10. Unit 5.1 - Notes midsegment_ – a segment that connects the midpoint of two sides of a triangle. So LM, MN, and LN are the midsegments of triangle ABC.
- 11. Midsegment Theorem: The segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length.
- 12. EX 1: If QR = 18, then JK is half of it which means JK = 9. If PK = 8, then KR = 8 since K is the midpoint of PR. Since PR = 16 all together, JL is half of PR since it is between the two midpoints so JL = 8. If KL = 6, then PQ is double KL so PQ = 12. KR = 8, LR = 9, QL = 9, PJ = 6, JQ = 6 Perimeter of PQR = 18 + 12 + 16 = 46 Perimeter of JKL = 6 + 8 + 9 = 23
- 13. EX 2: Place each figure in a coordinate plane in a way that is convenient for finding side lengths. Assign coordinates to each vertex. a) a square with sides of length m b) an acute triangle with base length b
