Find Missing Measures
A. Find mR.
Since QP = QR, QP QR. By the
Isosceles Triangle Theorem, base
angles P and R are congruent, so
mP = mR . Use the Triangle Sum
Theorem to write and solve an equation
to find mR.
Triangle Sum Theorem
mQ = 60, mP = mR
Answer:
mR = 60
Simplify.
Subtract 60 from each side.
Divide each side by 2.
Find Missing Measures
B. Find PR.
Since all three angles measure 60, the
triangle is equiangular. Because an
equiangular triangle is also equilateral,
QP = QR = PR. Since QP = 5, PR = 5
by substitution.
Answer: PR = 5 cm
A. Find mT.
A. 30°
B. 45°
C. 60°
D. 65°
B. Find TS.
A. 1.5
B. 3.5
C. 4
D. 7
Find Missing Values
ALGEBRA Find the value of each variable.
Since E = F, DE FE by the Converse of the
Isosceles Triangle Theorem. DF FE, so all of the
sides of the triangle are congruent. The triangle is
equilateral. Each angle of an equilateral triangle
measures 60°.
Find Missing Values
mDFE = 60
4x – 8 = 60
4x = 68
x = 17
Definition of equilateral triangle
Substitution
Add 8 to each side.
Divide each side by 4.
The triangle is equilateral, so all the sides are
congruent, and the lengths of all of the sides are equal.
DF = FE
Definition of equilateral triangle
6y + 3 = 8y – 5 Substitution
3 = 2y – 5 Subtract 6y from each side.
8 = 2y
Add 5 to each side.
Find Missing Values
4 =y
Answer: x = 17, y = 4
Divide each side by 2.
Find the value of each variable.
A. x = 20, y = 8
B. x = 20, y = 7
C. x = 30, y = 8
D. x = 30, y = 7
