Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles

Front

What is an isosceles triangle?

Back

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two sides of equal length.

Front

What is an equilateral triangle?

Back

An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are of equal length and all three angles are equal, each measuring 60 degrees.

Front

What is an equiangular triangle?

Back

An equiangular triangle is a triangle in which all three angles are equal.

Front

How do you find the measure of an angle in an isosceles triangle?

Back

In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are also equal. You can use the property that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees to find the measures.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides and angles in an equilateral triangle?

Back

In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal, and all angles are equal to 60 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²).

Front

How do you determine if a triangle is isosceles?

Back

A triangle is isosceles if at least two of its sides are of equal length.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of an equilateral triangle?

Back

In an equilateral triangle, all three sides are equal in length.
