Corollary
An equiangular triangle is also equilateral.
Illustrative Example 2
In isosceles A CAR with base CR, mzC=2x and
mZR- x + 35, find the measures of the base angles.
R
Solution:
m2C= mZR
Based on the Isosceles Triangle Theorem
2x - x + 35
2х -х - 35
mZR= x + 35
x = 35
m2C = 2(35)
m2C - 70°
mZR - 35 + 35
mZR - 70°
Answer: The base angles are ZC and zR whose measures are 70°each.
Illustrative Example 3
Find the length of each side of AZAV given 2Z ZV.
3x - 2
x + 10
x + 4
Solution:
Because 2Z ZV, then by The Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem,
AZ AV.
Based on the definition of congruent segments, AZ - AV.
AZ - AV
3x - 2 = x + 10
Зх - х - 1о+2
2x = 12
x - 6
Now replace x with 6 in the expression that represents the measure of each side.
AZ - 3x - 2
= 3(6)-2
- 18 -2
- 16
AV - x + 10
Vz - x + 4
-6+ 4
- 10
= 6+ 10
