4.2.5 Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles - Practice

1.  Identify the true statement. ○ An equilateral triangle has three congruent sides. ○ An equilateral triangle has three angles that measure 90°. ○ An equilateral triangle has three angles that measure 45°. ○ An equilateral triangle does not have any congruent sides.

2.  Identify the true statement. ○ If two angles of a triangle are

congruent, then the sides opposite the angles are not congruent. ○ If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite the angles are congruent. ○ If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then all of the sides are congruent. ○ If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the third angle is congruent.

4.  Find the measures of ∠ B and ∠ C .

3.  Identify the true statement. Explain why the statement is true. ○ Every isosceles triangle is equilateral. Isosceles triangles have congruent sides, so they are always equilateral. ○ Every isosceles triangle is equiangular. The sides opposite the base angles are congruent, so the triangle is equiangular. ○ Every equilateral triangle is equiangular. Since all pairs of sides are congruent, all pairs of angles must be congruent. ○ Every isosceles triangle is acute. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent, and no triangle can have two obtuse or two right angles. 5.  Find the value of b .

6.  Find the value of DF given that DE = 9 x + 11 and EF = 4 x + 31.
