The Base Angles are the to two adjacent angles to the base,

The Vertex Angle is the angle opposite to the base.


Theorems

Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent.
(ex. If line BU is congruent to line GU, then angle G is congruent to angle B.)

Converse of Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent.
(ex. Is angle G is congruent to angle B, then line BU is congruent to line GU)



Corollaries

A triangle is equilateral, if and only if it is equiangular.

Angles of equilateral and equiangular triangles = 60 degrees.
