Isosceles Triangle
Definition of Isosceles Triangle
An isosceles triangle is a triangle in which two of the sides are equal in length.
The angles opposite the equal sides of an isosceles triangle (we call these the base angles) are also equal in size.
Note: You can equally well define an isosceles triangle to be a triangle with two equal angles. It will then follow that it has two equal sides. So, choose your definition, and remember it.
