5. Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles
Sign In
Consider the Isosceles Triangle Theorem.
∠CAB≅ ∠BCA
We know that AB is congruent to CB. This means that both sides have the same length. Let's use the given information to mark the congruent sides of the given figure.
Since we have a triangle with two congruent sides, we can state that the given triangle is an isosceles triangle. We want to name two congruent angles. To do so, we will use the Isosceles Triangle Theorem.

Isosceles Triangle Theorem |
|
If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. |
Using this theorem, we can identify the congruent angles.
Therefore, ∠CAB is congruent to ∠BCA. ∠CAB≅ ∠BCA
