What to Focus On

  • Isosceles triangle: at least two equal sides
  • Equilateral triangle: all three sides equal
  • Every equilateral triangle is an isosceles triangle in terms of properties
  • Construction used: Draw AD perpendicular to BC
  • Angle ADB = angle ADC = 90°
  • Triangle ABD congruent to triangle ACD by R.H.S.
  • Equal angles in a triangle have equal opposite sides
  • Construction used: Draw AD perpendicular to BC
  • Triangle ABD congruent to triangle ACD by A.A.S.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If two sides of a triangle are equal, the triangle must be equilateral.

If two angles of a triangle are equal, nothing can be said about the sides.

In Theorem 1, any congruence test can be used without checking the right-angle construction.
