4.8 Proving Special Triangle Conjectures<br />

Name ___________________________<br />

Equilateral/Equiangular Triangle Conjecture<br />

Every equilateral triangle is equiangular.<br />

Conversely, every equiangular triangle is equilateral.<br />

Vertex Angle Bisector Conjecture<br />

In an isosceles triangle, the bisector of the vertex angle is also the altitude and the median<br />

to the base and the perpendicular bisector of the base.<br />

Medians to the Congruent Sides Theorem<br />

In an isosceles triangle, the medians to the congruent sides are congruent.<br />

Angle Bisectors to the Congruent Sides Theorem<br />

In an isosceles triangle, the angle bisectors to the congruent sides are congruent.<br />
