Base Angles of Isosceles Triangles

For Students 9th - 10th Standards
Build confidence in proofs by proving a known property. Pupils explore two approaches to proving base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent: transformations and SAS. They then apply their understanding of the proof to more complex...
