An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two congruent sides. The angles opposite these two sides are the base angles and the angle between those sides is the vertex angle of the triangle. ... In any isosceles triangle, the angles opposite to the congruent sides are also congruent. In fact, this condition could be used to...

Drag point C to change the base and height of isosceles ΔABC. The length of the base and the area of the triangle will be recalculated as the triangle is modified; additionally, a trace will be created by the movement of point L, which shows a graph of the area as a function of BC.

First, you must recall the definition of an isosceles triangle. An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of the same length. It is possible to use algebra to determine whether a triangle is isosceles if you know the coordinates of the three vertices and if you know the distance formula.
