Exercise 13 Page 378

Consider the Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem.

BF≅ BC

Practice makes perfect

Before we begin, let's use the given information to mark the congruent angles ∠ BCF ≅ ∠ BFC.

To name two congruent segments, we will use the Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem.

Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent.

Using this theorem, let's show the congruent sides.

We can see that BF is congruent to BC. BF≅ BC
