Base Angles of Isosceles Triangles


Description

In Lesson 23, students study two proofs to demonstrate why the base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent. The first proof uses transformations, while the second uses the recently acquired understanding of the SAS triangle congruency. The demonstration of both proofs highlight the utility of the SAS criteria. Encourage students to articulate why the SAS criteria is so useful.
