Lesson Summary:
In this lesson on isosceles triangles, we learn how to find the angles of a picture of triangles using concepts such as straight lines adding to 180, angles in a triangle making 180, and the exterior angle equaling the sum of the two interior angles. By using these concepts, we can find every other angle in a shape where certain sides and angles are congruent. This lesson provides a clear and concise demonstration of how to solve for unknown angles in a variety of different triangles.
Lesson Description:
Learn how to find out the angles of a picture of triangles.

Staff Review
This video finishes off the problem introduced in Part 1 of Isosceles Triangles. This is a rather daunting problem at first glance, and it uses a lot of prior knowledge about angles and isosceles triangles. This is a great wrap-up problem to a section on angles and triangles.
