Overview

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with at least two equal sides. This special type of triangle has unique properties that make it important in geometry. Understanding isosceles triangles helps us solve many geometric problems and proves useful in real-life applications like construction, design, a

Key Concepts

A triangle with at least two

A triangle with at least two sides equal is called an isosceles triangle. The equal sides are called legs, and the third side is called the base. The

A triangle with all three sides

A triangle with all three sides equal is called an equilateral triangle. It is a special case of isosceles triangle where all angles are also equal (6

If two sides of a triangle

If two sides of a triangle are equal, then the angles opposite to them are also equal. This is proven using congruent triangles by drawing a perpendic

If two angles of a triangle

If two angles of a triangle are equal, then the sides opposite to them are also equal. This is the converse of Theorem 1 and is also proven using cong

The angle bisector from the vertex

The angle bisector from the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle bisects the base at right angles. It also acts as the perpendicular bisector of the
