legs of an isosceles triangle
The congruent sides of the isosceles triangle
An isosceles triangle is a type of triangle where two sides have equal length. As a result, the two angles opposite to these equal sides are also congruent. The remaining angle opposite to the third side is known as the base angle. The legs of an isosceles triangle are the two equal sides of the triangle that are opposite to these base angles.
For example, if we have an isosceles triangle ABC where AB=AC and angle B = angle C, then the sides AB and AC are known as the legs of the triangle. The third side, BC, is known as the base. Therefore, the legs are the sides that are congruent to each other and they are opposite to the congruent angles.
