Isoceles Triangle

Isoceles Triangle:

Introduction to triangles:Let me first brief you up about Triangles in general,a triangle is a three sided figure,and an isosceles triangle has two congruent faces called legs and a third side called the base. The vertex angle is the angle included by the legs. The other two angles are called base angles. The base angles are congruent.
Isosceles Triangle:

The easiest way to learn about the isosceles triangle is to first identify its properties.

• The unequal face of an isoceles triangle is usually referred to as the 'base' of the triangle.
• The base angles (congruent) of an isosceles triangle are always equal. In the figure above, the angles
• When the 3rd angle is a right angle, it is called a "right isoceles triangle".
• The altitude is a perpendicular length from the base to the topmost vertex.

All isoceles triangles:
- Have angles that add up to 180 degrees
- Have two equivalent sides. The irregular side is called the base.
- Have alike base angles.
- Have areas and perimeters that can be establish using the formulas Area=1/2 X (base X height) and Perimeter=side+side+side
A shape triangle with a right angle is called a right isoceles triangle. Also, all equilateral triangles are isoceles triangles, but not all isoceles triangles are right triangles.
